BlancoSilverado Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Hello Everyone, I am thinking of lowering my truck a little bit at 30K(miles) im at 23K right now and would like to know if there are any issues with doing this. I really only want to lower the front by an inch and the rear by 2". I know that pinion angle issues have arise so i have bought a pinion angle gauge. I believe i will be installing; 2x 25019 (beltech) 2x 6416 (beltech) and probably buy some shim/angle kits to verify pinion angle before and after.

I did put bilstein rear shocks on. I know i shouldn't lower but i might just do 1" in the rear instead. because i cant really do anything. I might run to a pick and pull and pull and adapt a sway bar for the rear of my truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
