I already found a way mark... why would i go back and flip the rear ones... If something really bad happens in the near future bc of flipping the front hangers then i just might flip the back. But until then i'll rock my 9'' drop!

so Static dropping = flipping the front hangers?

 

no a static drop is lowering of the truck without adjustable suspension like airbags or hydraulics.


I will admit the 9 inches looks good but I dont see the practicality of driving it around like that, With my 7 inch drop my gastank is like 3-4 inches off the ground thats low enough for my taste. Also the pinion angle is giving you such a hassle I couldnt imagine taking that thing on the highway or even think about the vibrations you'll have and the u joints that it will eat. Also isnt your driveshaft rubbing on the crossmembers around the gastank? I know mine is pretty damn close with the 7 inch drop.

Im not saying its bad to be that low it just doesnt seem practical, eating u joints and dealing with that pinion angle and how low the gas tank is almost on the ground. Honestly I would return the front hangers to how they were originally and flip the rear ones and have a safe but functioning 7 inch drop in the back, yeah thats bragging rights having the 9 inch drop in the back it just doesnt seem safe or worth the trouble it will bring. I mean Im sure you can deal with a 5/7 until you bag it and then you wont have the issue of replacing u joints or busting your plastic gas tank.

I love the look of it rolling cali style static but it almost looks to much with a 5/9 drop.

 

yea i understand what u mean... but i had to get a fuel cell and blah blah... and yes the driveshaft was close to the gas tank but when u get a fuel cell it helps alot lol. ALso ur on 17s right?? im on 20s so my truck sits a lil higher than urs... But im going to drive the truck like this for a month and see what happens.. and if anything real dangerous are risky happens then i will just flip the rear shackles... but i already got the bed back on and new driveshaft and i dont feel like tearing it arpart again if i dont need to. But i'll let u no mark when i do something different. Thanks for ur concern but i assure u it works with the right amount of time, metal, and skills.

a tank atleast has some sort of suspension lol

anywho, DAMN thats low!!


and it looks good

 

did you have any problems with the shims? i had to have mine taken out..

 

looks sick, back in the day a friend of mine flipped the hangers we had to notch the cross member under the cab.

 

just bag the mother fawker!

and check your driveshaft where it goes into the tranny,, i busted the seal on my f150 and it leaked everywhere... nothing a **** load of silicone didnt fix hahaha

heres my old hunk o junk bagged up front, 10-11ish static drop in the rear. ha ignore stock rim, burnouts=blowouts=3 20s and 1 16 for 2 months haha

 

looks VERY good man
