Moes performance sells kits. Can you share some more info on your truck and what your goal is

 

[WIMBERDON]

2011 2wd reg cab, stage 1 tsp cam, 4.10 gears, cold air intake, true trac, rear control arm kit from moes , will be ordering longtubes soon, just a play truck, bought truck lowered looks like 2/4 kit but hard to say and previous owner didnt know, its just a play truck and the baby 28's on it, it needs to be dropped more

Are you on Facebook? There’s a bunch of guys running 3/5 drops and 4/6 drops. I know lower than 4” rear you need special rear control arm brackets. Can you post some pictures of the parts? Front springs and shocks. Rear springs and shocks. Rear control arm mounts on the axle.

My recommendation, IHC suspension, sells a kit for as much as a 5/7 drop. Includes most if not all necessary items

Ever thought of swapping out your light duty RFE transmission for an 8 speed first. You're on the ragged edge of that transmission lasting very long.I'd do the transmission swap first before spending money on lowering it more.

Nice truck
2WD?
Back gap isn’t too bad, but I hear you on the front.
Your lowering springs plus a spindle drop should get you 4”?
Probably the easiest way- at your stage- to lower the front more
Somebody correct me if I’m wrong
Sidenote- picture of my 2wd 2x4 Belltech drop with a 30.5” tire- front gap not ideal but wasn’t too extreme in my mind

This is my 4X4 with a 2" spindle drop.I wouldn't cut the fronts to much,as you start to run into bump steer if you go much lower on front with just a spring drop. I did a 4" front spring drop on my old white 13,and hated it,the truck wanted to swap lanes constantly everytime you hit a decent bump at 75+ mph.

Look at your tierods,if they're pointing uphill,you're going to have bumpsteer.You might be very lucky now if you don't experience it,but you go much lower on the springs,and it's going to be noticable. You could do a spindle drop and gain another 2",and keep bumpsteer at bay though.Plus spindles are way easier to do then pulling the springs and cutting them,lol

gotcha i’ll look into spindles

There'll be a whole lot less blood leakage and cursing swapping the spindles in comparision to pulling the springs and cutting them,lol.The front springs aren't all that much fun to get out of a 2wd
