: PRG Greg's lowered truck now
rcantu 02-12-2006, 05:21 PM he's got the rear lowering leafs, front DR coilovers, total chaos arms, rear street traction bars rolling on 22 inch American Racing bubba gumps w/ 305/45/22 hankooks.
this is from this mornings so cal meet where it was debuted.
docopharm 02-12-2006, 06:00 PM Cool, but I can't tell that it's that much lower than stock. Maybe I just need to see it comparison to another one. I'm sure it's top notch work all around though!
Rossi 02-12-2006, 06:03 PM What was the actual rear drop before and after?
That close up makes it look like there is a huge gap there still. But I'm sure it's just in the pic.
What was your thoughts seeing stock titans sit next to it on the drop?
rcantu 02-12-2006, 06:09 PM I took the pic at an angle cause there was another truck and couln't get a side shot. it looks good and didn't notice a rake on it. Greg wants to drop the front a little more.
I'm here he'll take some better shots.
he can't have a before and after cause he had lifted the rear before.
i'm sure he'll chime in.
PrerunnerGreg 02-12-2006, 09:47 PM The front is still too tall. tHe rear is about 1.5" lower than stock, we will get it a full 2" lower on the production springs. On the front its as low as i could adjust hte DRE coilovers, i will try a different set-up tomorrow and also lower the rear another 3/4". But the rear springs work great and ride a bit better then stock with a bit more load capacity (all good stuff). Im running them with a bilstien rear shock and the rear is great so far. The front still needs a bit more work. I was running a stillen front sway bar (since im a stillen dealer now), but it was just too much with the DRE too. I will post pics tomorrow to show what I would like it to look like. Its gonna be back up again in a few weeks too. One thing to note, the stillen 13" brakes (the $1200 package) works great, much, much better than stock. Now i just need to get that booster-brace made.
TinyTitan 02-13-2006, 12:09 AM yea i was going to say mine is lower in the rear with my 2" drop and then i read gregs post.....hope to see the finsihed fully dropped model
PrerunnerGreg 02-14-2006, 09:29 AM Lets see if you guys like this a bit better. I was really unhappy wit hthe look in the abouve pics, but im liking this stance now. This is wha the lowered rear springs will sit like.
05titan4us 02-14-2006, 01:57 PM That looks pretty d@mn good. What is the total cost of the entire setup?
Red Alert 02-14-2006, 02:01 PM Greg, I need to start saving my pennies now. I really like the ride height you have achieved. Is there a loss in front or rear wheel travel?
Thanks.
Ralph
TinyTitan 02-14-2006, 02:49 PM greg, the latest pics you posted were pure hotness man, very very nice
SickWhip 02-14-2006, 05:56 PM I really like the new look!
TITAN510 02-14-2006, 06:36 PM Greg,
What's the cost of the rear setup? if I don't mod the front suspension will it be even more level?
thanks! Alan
TITAN510 02-14-2006, 06:36 PM btw - it looks really nice!
drunkendet 02-14-2006, 07:11 PM OOOOHHHHH Papa Like.....
PrerunnerGreg 02-14-2006, 09:29 PM Thanks for the compliments guys. The rear set-up "Should" be around mid $400 for the springs and the bilstiens will be $190 shipped. But this set-up will work well with even stock shocks. Im also looking into a qulity, but medium priced, shackle to get another 3/4" of drop. The last thing on the lowered agenda is a new front coilover, with bette rspring rates for being lowered. Im still not sure of the price of the whole set-up, but i will certainly let everyone know as soon as i get all the info. Im really excited about this setup as it handles really well and rides great. and im enjoying the lowered stance alot more than i thought i would. I get more looks from this than i did on 35's...go figure.
got_titan 02-14-2006, 09:35 PM hey greg, off topic a bit but did we ever get a deaver pack that would provide no lift??? thanks, john
Toomnymods 02-15-2006, 08:21 PM I'm looking to lower my truck 4" in the rear and maybe 2" up front, can this be achieved with shackles/leafspring kit and maybe some diffrent coils upfront? I plan on getting some 22" rims with a +25mm ofset to tuck all the way inside the fenderwells, I don't want the wheels hitting the fenders when i go over speed bumps and such..
