HELP....Lowering an '08 Lade

[freemaSSon]

i have a buddy that suggested the belltech spindles and springs for the front for 3-4" drop (spacer, no spacer) and belltech rears for 4" drop....

any thoughts and/or suggestions?

What wheel size you going with? I got 22" rims with 2" drop and the lade just clears a parking block.

yeah a 2 in drop in the front is perfect, especially if you have 24's or 26's... I have a 2.5 in drop in the rear and wish it was .5-1 in lower.... Front is Ground Force Spindle kit, rear is GF springs. Couldn't be happier with the ride quality though!

the plan is to stay with the 22" stockers.....it seems the 4" my friend is suggesting would even the space around the wheel inside fender lips....

any cautions related to the load leveling system when lowering?

post some pics when you get it done.If you plan on towing something then you might go with a 2" drop all around.just my 2 cents.

plan to tow the race truck....so i am COVERING this real well with whatever setup is installed.....not sure on the rear travel MINUS 4" something we are looking at though.....

for those in the know.....HOW much can the LOAD LEVELING air shocks handle....about 6000 lbs. total weight towed NOT SURE on the TONGUE LOAD........

TBSS on Car Hauler is what will be towed.....

does that mean it is like factory ride or just pretty good considering it was lowered?

I just got the Mcgaughys 2/3 kit for my 08, I'm puttin on 26s so it should look nice. I don't think u can do anything lower than a 2/3 drop if u have AWD and airride only if u have 2WD
