Lowered B.S. Thread

Glad to report I finally received my custom front drop coil springs from Deaver today! 2.65" drop and +25% spring rate increase.

Looks like my joking above became a premonition.. since the 4-5 week wait time was BS after all and it took over 3 months for the order to process!! No fault to Deaver of course, more so on the covid stuff that shut their supplier down..




Can't wait to get these installed and get my ride height dialed in. The plan is to get the rear leafs re-arched for drop by Deaver once I get these in place. Going for a bit more drop in the rear for weight distribution and handling, should look pretty sweet too of course!

 

@Torspd are you the only one lowered without a tundra racing kit on a 6 lug? I’d like to go another inch or so down. These tundra racing lowering kits are not the best quality either. Mines starting to rust more than my frame. And my frame has been exposed 4 years more to the elements

 

I would say that I may be.

 

You would need to get shorter height axle perches. Reinstall the OEM shackles. QuiteGet XR leaf spring plate, mounts, or whatever they are called. Would you like me to post a picture @TRON ?

 

That would be great. I like this approach. Kill two birds with one stone and get this TR lower kit off that’s rusting away plus I can drop it more. As for the front?

 

For the front, I purchased coilovers, as well as cut an inch out of the top of the knuckle.

 

I got my custom knuckles cut with adjustable UCAs already. Just need some coilovers that fit for the drop.

 

Strictly Street perhaps?

 

Anyone running these Viking coilovers? How much better ride vs stock blisteins?

 

Got a link?

 

Strictly street is using Viking coilovers now.

The only thing about this is it only drops 2 inches. Which is what I have now. Curious why they can’t drop more. Is it cause of the UCAs and stock knuckles?

 

2" from XR or PreRunner?

How much shorter are the xr/5-lug coilovers, than the PreRunner coilovers?

Edited my last post.

 

Noo new picss

 

Have you reached out to them yet? As a point of reference, my Ohlins are shorter in overall length than my OEM 4x4 shocks. As they were specifically designed for my lowered ride height. Congruently meaning a similar thing for the XR and those adjustable coilovers, compared to the modified TR drop setup.

 

Yup. I’m talking with them now. Apparently the XR coilovers are 2 inches shorter. Regardless, strictystreet and Viking can build coilover kits to any length. They do need to find out about the bolt pattern for our 6 lug

 

I was wondering what options there were for 6lug lowered trucks up front besides TR. If you end up going the Viking route for up front, would you mind posting some specs?

 

This is great news!
