lowered 1st gen cummins???
hey whats up my names david and im a 1st gen guy all the way. just lookin for people that know there stuff about dodges too.. does anyone know where i can get a lowering kit for my 91? also so you guys think i should go with a 285/60-18 tires with the mb wheels model 72 or the 255/55s??
|
Whats up man.
No clue on th lowering kits but its been done. Got a pic of the wheels? |
Technically one should punch oneself in the face for thinking about lowering a 1st gen. I've seen it once and it looks like...not too good. :argh::argh::argh:
|
if you just go to tires.com and look at the wheels by size there 18s with the 8 on 6.5 my computers being a piece there the mb model 72. and thanks i dont think im going to lower it anymore the wheels will do the trick.

OP, sorry, I don't know anything about lowering trucks, as I prefer mine stock, but let us know how the progress goes. By the way, some pics of the truck would be nice. :U: |
lol ill put some more up tomorrow. i just tow alot with it so lowering it will mess with that and it makes it really hard to find tires...i already have to do with a 31x11.50 its the nitto terra grapper

I aint sure yet how I'm gonna lower it yet, shorter shackles, less springs......I dont know yet....... |
i want to lower my rear end just a bit so it sits more level. also might make it ride smoother. how many leafes you think id need to take out 1 or 2?
|
i took out one spring in the rear end and mine sits pretty level. it gave it a pretty good stance.
|
hows the ride after taking it out?
|
I thought they were self lowering? at least in the front......
|
What do you mean self lowering?
|
he 1st gens sag after 20 years of service... :D
I wonder if you can run a half ton spring in the front to lower it... |
bobby, by spring do you mean a coil spring for the 2wd or a leaf for 4wd? a half ton spring for a 4wd would be pretty entertaining; nothin like a horse shoe ontop of the axle lol
|
ya your truck looks really good with a leaf out. what size tires and wheels do you have?
|
gravity + cummins + old springs = long term low rider
|
it rides pretty good. still rough

might have to upgrade the shocks tho to maintain ride and stability with the 1/2 ton spring... should make it ride like a town car :w2:

I lowered my first gen,in the rear I fliped the front spring mounts up side down and for the rear spring mounts I moved them up 4 in.here is some pics
front mount before Attachment 51220 front mount after Attachment 51221 rear mount before Attachment 51222 rear mount after Attachment 51223 For the front of the truck I just heated the spring with a torch here is a pic of the truck lowered Attachment 51224 |
when you heated it did it glow red?
looks real clean i like this all the way around nice man:rocking: |
i like it alot. what size tires are you running
|
The front tires are 225/75-16 and the rear tires are 265/75-16
|
im lovin the front plate sharp truck
|
Nice work, looks good.
I like it:tu: |
Dont really like the idea of the back spring shackle mount with only 2 bolts. I would have done longer shackles and left the mount where it was. looks good though. Hows the ride?:tu:
|
sweet pic of what I would like to have lowered
