Topic: Lowering my Av??

Hey B!

I use shock relocators but never replaced the dog bones off the sway bar for shorter ones or bent 'em.   Is that necessary?

on a slight drop, I dont think so.  i think the shorter ones will make for a slightly softer ride, but I'm not sure.

I think my rear Monroe shocks are giving up on me.  I have a set of nitro drop shocks to install this spring and it doesnt require the relocators.

have the Nitro Active drop shocks.  I'm very happy with them.

spindles are for the front.  Springs are for the rear.  Both should be included in a kit (unless you use new control arms for a 3/5 drop)

I would guess that from looking at the chop job you're wanting a 2/4 or possibly even a 3/5 drop.  here's mine way back when... its around a 4/5(+/-) drop.

Looking at those pics of yours and some others I've found, I think I'll be going for a 3/5 drop.  That has about the right height I'm looking for....

Soooooo, now to start finding my kit....(and robbing  a couple banks     )

I'm thinking theres a 3/5 kit that doubles as a 2/4 kit.  2" drop spindles in the front and 5" springs in the rear with a 1" spacer to bring it back up to a 4" drop.  the extra 1" drop in the front can be done by adjusting the keys down a little.  I think its a Beltech kit.  DJM also makes a 3/5 kit that replaces the control arms in the front.

Both those companies have good stuff?   I've found a couple less expensive ones, but I have a feeling that the suspension is one place I DON"T want to get cheap...Kind of like the brakes....
