Ey man this helped a lot I got my own 97 and I couldn’t find no 2/4 kit installations then you showed up so really made me feel more confident about dropping it
React 2 inch drop spindals help bring those front tires back to the original track width too I’m the the process of getting a set stuff I didn’t know when I orderd belltech ones
I just bought a 92 1500 regular cab and I just ordered a 2/4 drop kit. Ive been looking at those exact rims for a while now and thinking about doing 20x8.5 in the front and 22x10.5 in the back. What would you recommend? I like the low flush stance it has with the wheels and I feel like a 2/4 might still set a little higher than I would like.
You might be able to use the same rear kit I did but just use a 4 inch lowering shackle instead and you should be back to flush height on both front and rear (only if you stick with 22 inch rims on the rear). If you don't use a 4 inch lowering shackle then you will just have the rear sitting up higher (which I personally don't like) But it all goes down what you like bro. If you don't care to much about using your bed and going more for looks then go for the 4/6 drop. It will look a lot nicer just more stiffer ride.
@@SUPSGARAGE Thank you. That info is VERY helpful. I'm contemplating a 2"or3"F/4"R drop with 255/55R18 on 18x8.5 +0 for my 90 Std Cab; hoping the extra sidewall keeps the ride pretty mild. But damn the staggered 20's on a deeper drop look tight. Have you considered rear disc brake conversion? That was one of my first mods and I'm loving it.
@@SUPSGARAGE Because, used bolts are stretched and become fatigued after many years of use. It's no different than any other fastener used on an engine. I'm in process of redoing the suspension on my 91 Chevy stepside and ordered new U bolts for the rear, they don't cost that much.😎
@@SUPSGARAGE Yeah, I just like to offer some friendly advice if I can. Here is where I ordered mine from.. www.autoandtrucksprings.com/leaf-spring-u-bolt-kits/
So my truck already had 2 inch drop spindles bro so I did not want it any lower then that in the front so all I had to do is put STOCK springs to give me the 2 inch drop I was wanting. Were before I had 2 inch drop springs and my 2 in drop spindles which was the 4 inch drop it had. Did this answer ur question?
You need shorter ones brother I only have the part number for the rears (BEL-2212IF) but if you contact summit racing they will tell you everything you need and I would get shock extensions for the rear for a better ride comfort.
@@naranjoceidy Man I don't know on that one.... I never ended up putting it back on and it was already there when I got the truck but like I said, summit racing won't fail on letting you know what your needing 😁
Not sure if I missed this but are the shocks just stock shocks? I was going with Bilstein but idk if I should get the stock shocks or the ones that say they’re for a 4in drop. I also have 5/6 drop trying to raise to 2/4
Dang don’t tell me that lol. I like the look but it rides like crap lol I wonder if maybe changing the shocks and springs might help to keep it smoother bro. It’s notched and it hits nasty. Also my tires rub on the fenders on the front. So idk bro 😂
@@alyviasommers7578 you could I just felt like it would make the rear a little lower then the front, its been a couple months now that I've had the 2/4 drop and looks pretty even.
I did the 2/2 drop last week but wanna even out the back. So I ordered drop hangers to give me an additional 2 inches in the back. Did you need pinion shims?
@@SUPSGARAGE if you lower your truck enough it throws off your pinion angle where the drive shaft enters the differential. Some trucks handle it better but some lowering rotates the axle so you have to shim it to be in spec when you tighten everything down. Otherwise at high speeds you could get vibration and premature wear. I haven’t installed mine yet to tell you a personal experience. But it’s good you didn’t need any. Lol
I installed stock size springs but its because I already had 2 inch drop spindles on my truck (to get the 2 inch drop I wanted in the front) and yes I also installed 2 inch drop shackles along with the 2 inch drop hangers to make a total 4 inch drop on the rear brother.
@@robertcarlos78 what ever size drop shackle you put is the drop it will give you. I believe they only have 3 inch drop shackles and 2 inch drop shackles, I could be wrong. If you call summit racing they will give you all your options depending how low you wanna go for brother.
Ey man this helped a lot I got my own 97 and I couldn’t find no 2/4 kit installations then you showed up so really made me feel more confident about dropping it
Glad to hear that brother! Hope it goes well if you decide to do it 😊👍!
@@SUPSGARAGE yessir she’s Sittin in the shop right now as a matter of fact
I think this is the right stance for this trucks. Doing the same 2/4 drop on my 98 sierra.

Amazing video!! No gimmicks just straight tot he point. Keep them coming!
For the rear you could've just added 2 inch lift shacles

What mirrors are those, looks good, most OBS have the sport 454. I like the way yours looks.
Not sure brother they been on there since my grandfather had it in the 90's ur not the first one to ask lol
Sweet ride. What color blue is that?
thanks! it's like a baby blue brother not to sure the actual color but will know when I get the chance to paint her
That dirt on those A arms are from 1998.
😂😂🤣 your right on that!
Early in the video you pointed out that the front and rear wheels are staggered. What size front and rear tire & wheel set up are you running?
245/45 in the front and 275/40 on the rear brother (20 inch rims all the way around, rear wheels are deeper dish)

18 sound nice too ive seen some in my area with some thick tires n look nice! but lucky for me my truck already had the rear brake conversion 😁
Good commentary! Nice editing as well!
Thanks brother!
You should use new U bolts for the rear leaf springs.
Why do you say that brother?
@@SUPSGARAGE Because, used bolts are stretched and become fatigued after many years of use. It's no different than any other fastener used on an engine. I'm in process of redoing the suspension on my 91 Chevy stepside and ordered new U bolts for the rear, they don't cost that much.😎
@@2015_Rubicnn Thanks for the advice. Never thought about it that way 🤔 In the future I would not mind changing them out for new ones.

Good video my guy. Detailed.
Quick question, what exactly did you put in front to get the 2 In drop bro?
So my truck already had 2 inch drop spindles bro so I did not want it any lower then that in the front so all I had to do is put STOCK springs to give me the 2 inch drop I was wanting. Were before I had 2 inch drop springs and my 2 in drop spindles which was the 4 inch drop it had. Did this answer ur question?
Hey bro so for a 2/4 drop what kind of shocks do I need regular length or shorter? Can u u provide the part numbers for the ones u got?
You need shorter ones brother I only have the part number for the rears (BEL-2212IF) but if you contact summit racing they will tell you everything you need and I would get shock extensions for the rear for a better ride comfort.
@@SUPSGARAGE ah ok cool, if I decide for a 3/5 drop do I still need the same shorter shocks? I'm undecided either a 2/4 or 3/5 drop
@@naranjoceidy I wanna say if you go even lower you would have to get even lower shocks or the ride will feel horrible
@@SUPSGARAGE I see, by any chance what's the size of the rear sway bar links since the ones u had where shorter
@@naranjoceidy Man I don't know on that one.... I never ended up putting it back on and it was already there when I got the truck but like I said, summit racing won't fail on letting you know what your needing 😁

No there not stock shocks brother, they are for lowered trucks.
I bought it dropped but I need a smoother ride man. Thanks for the info. I’ll look into it 🙏🏽
@@jaimemartinez2591 i hear ya lol it made it smoother but I missed the looks so I ended up going back lol

@jaimemartinez2591 the rubbing is what I could not stand! But I have a 3/5 drop on it now and does not rub 😁
2.4 drop is decent for eney road..or truck..specially short bed
Love the video bro. What did you do to the 2in drop spring tho?
Thank you brother! And I ended up trashing it. Was worn out and did me no good.
Great video. Im doing a 2/4 on mine right now. Do you like your new shocks, and are they a comfortable ride?
Thanks bro. And yes I feel like it rides a lot better with these shocks!
Could I do a 2/5 drop? I feel like a 2/4 is just slightly up in the rear not level
@@SUPSGARAGE im doing 2,4 on 22s coys
@@biggdogfresh2263 any chance u got Instagram for I can see pics when your done with it? im curious to see how it will look 😁
@@alyviasommers7578 you could I just felt like it would make the rear a little lower then the front, its been a couple months now that I've had the 2/4 drop and looks pretty even.
Couldn’t you have left the flip kit and just add a 2 inch lift shackle in the rear?
Not sure 🤔 I believe the leaf springs would not have let me
what size tires are you running on this video bro
245/45 20 in the front and 275/40 20 on the rear brother
I want to do that is there a link for parts you used
For some reason it won't let me copy paste on here brother but its in the description
What size wheels are you using
20 inch brother
I have a 94 c1500 single cab I have it sitting on some 20’s so what you think would be a good drop
are you trying to be slammed or just lower but still able to use your bed for loads?
@@SUPSGARAGE I’m just trying to lower it because i keep stuff in the back like a lawnmower and stuff like that

I would think that might be different, keep me updated. Could help someone else on here as well!
Do u have the link to 2/4 drop kit
I have it in the description brother and my truck already had 2 inch drop spindles 😊 so that won't be listed.
What's the part number for the rear shocks
Here you go brother BEL-2212IF
So you put a drop shackles and springs?
I installed stock size springs but its because I already had 2 inch drop spindles on my truck (to get the 2 inch drop I wanted in the front) and yes I also installed 2 inch drop shackles along with the 2 inch drop hangers to make a total 4 inch drop on the rear brother.

@@robertcarlos78 no problem brother, glad I could help 😁
I got me some 22 inch rims on my obs. Should I give it a 3/4 drop or a 2/4. Would the 2/4 give me rubbing issues ?
2/4 drop should be fine brother. A 3/4 drop might make it look uneven.
@@SUPSGARAGE heard that. I want it to have that leveled look you know. But also be pretty low. Appreciate the fast reply
@@kilz3522 no problem bro and good luck on urs!
I kinda wana do a 2/5 because 2/4 looks good but the rear is just a little up in the rear
@@alyviasommers7578 I'm sure the 2/5 will look good as well brother, I just wanted to be able to still use my bed to carry things lol
What size wheels are those?
They are 20 inch rims brother

What size tires are you running?
245/45 20 in the front and 275/40 20 in the rear brother
@@SUPSGARAGE thank you
@@SUPSGARAGE no issues with rubbing on the fronts? Could you match the back size on the front and have room?
@@CP_Outdoors24 No rubbing at all and I'm sure you could use the same size bro. I probably put the same size when they go bad.

What disc rear end is that?
It had already came like that brother but I believe the kit is from Little Shop mfg.
@@SUPSGARAGE thanks, ill check them out.
no problem bro
Nice video bro, lowering my 91 obs extendo are the shock extenders needed for the 4 inch drop in rear? Trying to keep that ride smooth as possible.
Thanks brother and yea I would get them if your wanting a more smother ride!
Nice job and video!! But where the hell is your jackstands for the back of the truck? Safty first !! Dont ever rely only on a floor jack.
Thanks bro and had my truck on quick Jacks which are more safe then the normal jacks 😁
What kind of wheels are those?
There called US Mags C-TEN
What size tires you running
245/45 20 in the front and 275/40 20 on the rear brother
What’s the back spacing in front and rear please!
@Alejandro Gabaldon what do you mean by that bro?
if i have stock spindles and i go with the 2 “ lowering springs and shock in the front would i still need to flip my sway bar?
No you wouldn't have to, it was only like that on mine cuz it originally had a 4 inch drop and I raised it back up to a 2 inch drop
Needs wayyyyyy more
what so you mean brother?
I went 2,4 I think I should've went 3,5 I'm running 22s
it would'nt rub at that point? I wanted to try 22 but felt like it would be overkill lol plus I wanted more tire then rim if that makes any sense.
@@SUPSGARAGE 3,5 it won't rub im running coys wheels with 5.5 offset
@@SUPSGARAGE im sure i can take it down a inch if needed
@@SUPSGARAGE i know 22s won't rub but 3,5 drop it might or it wouldn't
