best way to..

[twoslo4five0]

get 0 to 1 inches ouf lift with 52s? i think 38377k5 has 0 to 1 on his rig, clearance and steering isnt a issue.imma let some N2 out of my shocks and lower the whole truck down about 4 inches.the rest of the body will be gone and replace with tube and steering will be done via full hydro.so with htat being said whats the best way to net 0 lift with 52s? if i can find a option i will link the front just to cheap for that right now

Mine is that height, 3 leaves plus the overload. It sits flat on the overload at ride height (though we are using used springs so the condition of the springs will likely affect this).

Very little uptravel, tons of downtravel, actually works fairly well.

Keep the overload, without it the springs will overflex and you'll kill them the first trip out.

what is your height to the top of your roof?

6'5" I think, its been a while since I measured it.

that would effictivly lower my truck 5 inches,id like to go lower but id have to re do my cage.thanks

COG and belly height are much more important than roof height, so I wouldn't worry about that too much.

well im lowering for the cog.as far as belly im at 27 inches and 120 inch wb.i will be at 124 after i do the front but my tires are bald 42s so hopefully after new tires i will gain back what i loose.i still think a 20 inch + belly is plenty for east coast wheeling.ive never hit mine now and dont mind dragging it.actaully i did hit it here

chris you ever think about moving the front leaves under the axle?

I was gona suggest spring under.

EDIT: Bad for ground clearance under the tubes.

 

[twoslo4five0]

well id rather have bad ground clearance there and feel more stable on climbs and sidehills.i think from where my truck is now it would lower it about 9 inches

Right after having the biggest god damn orgasm of your life!!........ohh, you meant that. 0/1 of lift with 52's, oops sorry, Nevermind.

Why do you want basically no lift?

 

[twoslo4five0]

side hills and hill climbs.i have 5 inches right now and still dont feel comfertable on climbs

Could you use a suck down winch?

I haven't because I'm still running crossover steering and I can't really have any uptravel anyway at that ride height (the spring would hit the pitman arm).

Spring under would work, but yeah, you'd lose some clearance.
