Lowering a “north edition”?

[J-barcarp]

I have read conflicting info on what the suspension on my truck is.
i dont have another normal big horn or org big horn to compare to.
i reached out to maxtrack and their answer was ” we dont know”
do i need anything other than the maxtrack springs in the rear?

i am afraid i might need the hardpan bar and end links for the rear
and new oem length springs up front.

edit to add.. i know nothing about suspension.

Did you start out with ORG or north edition?

@J-barcarp hopefully someone can give you the info you need without resorting to adjustable bars. I’m going to look up part number differences for the rear suspension when I get some time.

No, but the maxtrac front shocks can be used to lower the truck 3in. So if the north edition has ORP springs, all he has to do is set the clip at the 3in drop instead of the 2in drop.

adjustable Panhard bar is a choice but not required. And the maxtrac kit comes with end links

OK thanks. The situation and why I’m even posting without giving an answer is because I just sold him a set of 2 inch rear Maxtrac lowering springs but didn’t know that he was trying to achieve a reverse level on a north edition truck. So my springs will put him down 3 inches lower in the rear, and he only needs to go 1 inch down in the front. I am thinking that his north edition springs would be fine, but I have non ORG springs available if he finds the spring rate of the north edition too rough with the maxtrac shock valving. Do you feel that your front end feels too soft or is it already firm?

Ahhh gotcha I see what he is doing now.

And my front feels the about the same as stock

parts ordered. Will post install and results in a week or so.

thanks again.

Install complete. Drove for a couple weeks and seems to jump sideways a little when i hit bumps. Also tires screech a little during slow corners.

Any suggestions?
