lower the lift

[bigbluebronc]

Looking at pictures of trail runs , rocks sand snow., I am seriously wanting too take out some lift, used too run with a 3.5, now running a 5 ish lift 5.5 springs front and a 5.5 ten pack rear with 4 leaves removed .... the truck is just too tall, well have a 2 inch body lift too. Is going back too my 3 ish lift going too lower the center of gravity enough too help on the rocks(lowering the whole motor frame trans and tranfer case) 2 inches seems like alot . the back has lifted on me a few times doing down hills....???

What ya think

with your tire size, you are going to have to trim some fender out. You will be munching them on trails. But past that, I don't see a problem with going down.

Well the front is inner fender well free, and cut within an inch of the body line, the rear is the same.

Jumping the truck over dunes and a little baja style , high speed running with the 3.5 lift only rubbed the BC broncos drivers side exhaust tube on the front drive shaft and the drivers side inner fender well rear , where the fuel junk used too hang out that was an easy cut hammer and tack back. The flat bed I trailer with cut the front tires more(ramps) when I pushed it up with front wheel drive only HAHA, that was long ago and have the spool and 35 spline axels now.

Really thinking lower is better.
