Re: Drops and tire alignment issues and wear

I did 2 1/2 ece spindles and 1 1/2 ece springs up front.I wanted 2 inch springs but the tech guy I spoke with asked,Are you going to drive it.If so I recommend 1 1/2 so it wont bottom out.He was right.Cut my bumpstops in half and it does drive great. I have to really drive it hard to bottom it out.I swapped rear coils for 2500 lbs bags for 6 inch drop with NO LIMIT shock relocaters and panhard bar.I cant say enough about Robs stuff.He knows what he is talking about.If you lower the rear to where the housing touches the frame you only have 3/4 inch before center section hits the bed floor;less if wooden floor.So unless you raised the bed floor a c-notch wont help much.I need to get 1 1/2 lowering blocks for the rear so I can run a little more air pressure in the rear for a better ride.
