Lowered The Lift Back Down Today

[Mad Maxx]

Lift is still fully in the Truck, just Adjusted a little bit

5" Lift Springs in the Rear, now with 3" Drop Shackles.

Removed Green Keys in the Front, Installed OE Keys, and Adjusted them to whatever they needed to be at to be Even with the Rear.

...and nope, even with it Cranked down, the Tires still don't Rub anywhere. :thumbsup:

Final Product:



Check out that CV Angle!!



At Lifted Height:


So it came down a good amount.

I like it better at the lower height. CV looks great

Yea, and the fact that it still doesn't Rub with it Dropped now, I'll keep it that way.

I measured it VS the Cummins last evening too, and the Tire to Fender Gap is 3/4" or less between the 2, with the Duramax being the Taller one, and the Tailgate is 2" Higher when Down on the Duramax. All the Cummins has Suspension wise is a 2.5" Leveling Kit in the Front with 1/2" Longer Control Arms, and Firesonte Airbags in the Rear.

I installed a 2.5" kit in my 11 f150 and my cv angles are ok at ride, but anything dropped more than that they get real sharp.
Had to get the truck up some, driving in corn fields during hunting was ruining he front valence and ripping wires out.
Yours looks good at that height!

Awesome looking truck James. The tires look a little small with that lift, but still looks real good! The CV angles look better than stock. :thumbsup:

Funny thing is the Tires are 35x13's

It's a Zone 6" Lift, but everyone Swears it's more like a 7-8".

 

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

Wow. I am shocked. The tires look much smaller than 35. And the lift looks more like an 8" lift. Interesting. But nice!

The only difference I can find between the Zone 6" and BDS 7" (Zone is made by BDS) is that the BDS 7" is an NTBD Kit and it has 1 more Skid Plate. Other than that, they are identical.
