Dave... good idea actually. They make sway bars to bolt up to my truck. LMC truck carries them! That would help but what about traction too? I didn't know sway bars would help that.
I was looking at Belltech's products and they have the 3" dropped I beams as well and they have lowere shocks to use with them for travel and 1-2 inch lowere springs. They said I can lower the truck 5 inches with the 3" dropped I beam and 2 inch dropped springs... Only problem is alignment with the darn springs. I read on sport truck magazines site that people get that setup with the dropped springs and it throws alignment off but they take it to an alignment shop and they sometimes can help it a little but it wont be perfect.
Any reason why they don't make 5 inch dropped I beams? Wouldn't all they have to do is keep the part that holds the spindle on level and then just drop the rest of the beam more? I don't know, maybe clearance issues... I did notice that if I did drop the front to where the front tires tucked in under any that when turned all the way it would rub on the outside part of the fender. I am running 235/75 so maybe I can run a skinnier tire and then also set backspacing in more if I get new wheels?
I know I just threw in a ton of comments and things in there, so sorry about that.www.streamlineautocare.com
If you wan't something done right, then you have to do it yourself!
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
