View Full Version : how to get to 5-7? KuzIKan 05-11-2003, 07:51 PM ok, my truck so far is lowered only 2 inches in the back so it would sit level. i want to get to a 5-7, so far i have the two inch drop using shackles from Belltech. http://www.djmsuspension.com/Images/Products/Shackles/Sh1011-2.jpg what else could i use to get to a 5-7? grounded 05-11-2003, 08:03 PM Front: Spindles(2") and springs(3") Rear: You've got several ways to go. I'd probably just go with a flip kit, but if I rember right you need the stock shackles. You could use the Demon method of several fat hookers, but I wouldn't recomend it. 454ss 05-11-2003, 08:10 PM Originally posted by grounded Front: Spindles(2") and springs(3") Rear: You've got several ways to go.

You need the drop shackles to make the 7"...but you use the bottom hole, it makes 1" of drop grounded 05-11-2003, 08:13 PM Originally posted by 454ss You need the drop shackles to make the 7"...but you use the bottom hole, it makes 1" of drop So is it the 6" that you use the stock shackles, or am I thinking of something totaly differant?:think: KuzIKan 05-11-2003, 08:23 PM Originally posted by grounded Front: Spindles(2") and springs(3") Rear: You've got several ways to go.

You could use the Demon method of several fat hookers, but I wouldn't recomend it. but if i have the flip kit, that would take me down to 8" something in the back right, or is it adjustable? seeing as if i already have the two inches in the back or would i take the shackles out and put the stock ones back in, then put the flip kit in? but then that would only take me down to 6", and could i use something else to get the one inch like 454ss was talking about?

No big deal. :D Install a 6" flip kit, set the shackles at the 1" setting (Lower hole), and C-notch the frame rails. As mentioned before, 2" spindles and 3" coil springs will do the job up front. Add a set of lowered shock absorbers and f/r anti-sway bars---You'll be set. :read: :cool: Understand now? ;) grounded 05-12-2003, 10:22 AM Originally posted by Incredible Hulk Geez! pay attention.:slap: 454ss and Grounded just explained it to you in the posts above. :read: You have the attention span like a chimpanzee.:dunce: :LOL: :LOL: Fullsized, reread 454SS' post.:read: 454ss 05-12-2003, 11:44 AM Originally posted by grounded So is it the 6" that you use the stock shackles, or am I thinking of something totaly differant?:think: Correct:D KuzIKan 05-12-2003, 05:05 PM Originally posted by BaggedC10 No big deal. :D Install a 6" flip kit, set the shackles at the 1" setting (Lower hole), and C-notch the frame rails.

Plus it'll look awesome. Front: 2" spindle, with a 3" spring Rear: Flip kit, and keep the shackle you currently have on your truck. And of course, a notch. grounded 05-13-2003, 09:18 AM If your going to bag it, just save your money to bag it. Don't waste your time or money on the 5/7. And for answers to your bag questions search for your old posts about bags.:read: KuzIKan 05-13-2003, 02:20 PM Originally posted by grounded If your going to bag it, just save your money to bag it.

Honestly I don't care what he does. He can heat or cut his stock coils and pull leaves and add a big azz block out back. I'm done with him, this is the same damn thing he did awhile back asking about bags. Good luck with your truck kid. CKTA 05-13-2003, 03:44 PM Originally posted by grounded Exactly!!
