2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Lower a 4x4 ?

A good option for the back is to pull out a leaf (or get a smaller block) and add air bags. That way you get a good ride empty and you can raise/lower to your liking.

Don't know about lowering a 4X,but do know that I never would have found the oversize vehicle parking at the Sea-Tac airport if my truck was short. The oversize lot there is much easier to deal with than the parking structure,price is the same and it's just as close.

LOWERING A 4X4 2500

HI ,

I HAVE A 2500 4X4 WHICH I HAVE LOWERED , I HAVE TAKEN THE FRONT DOWN 2 INCHES WITH NEW CUSTOM MADE SPRINGS . AND I HAVE REMOVED THE REAR BLOCK AND MOUNTED THE AXLE ON THE SPRINGS . THE TRUCK SITS NICE AND LEVEL . THE VEHICLE IS NOW LOW ENOUGH TO GET INTO OUR SHORT AUSSIE CITY CAR PARKS . I HAVE INSTALLED AIR HELPER SPRINGS IN THE REAR TO HELP WHEN LOADED TO KEEP IT ALL LEVEL . I HAD A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND THERE WAS SUFFICIENT ADJUSTMENT TO GET HER WELL ALIGNED . I ALSO REPLACED THE ORIGINAL SHOCKS WITH RANCHO ADJUSTABLES AS PER THE RECOMENDATIONS ON THIS SITE . THE REARS HAD TO BE SHORTER THAN STANDARD TO STOP THEM BOTTOMING OUT . I DO HIT THE BUMP STOPS AT THE FRONT ON A BIG AUSSIE POTHOLE .

HOPE THIS HELPS

REGARDS CONN

I'm not sure but you may also be able to get a set to replace the front suspension too. This would not be a cheap option, but would give you the best of both worlds.

Yes you can. Go here- http://www.keldermanmfg.com/new_air_ride/Dodge_94up_front_air_ride.htm
