Post your lowered 5th gens

Yeah if just using the spring to lower it that much without changing anything else you will run into issues if you talk to maxtrac directly

Does the 2/4 effect towing/payload capacity?

 

[User_67930]

Are you doing the rear control arm relocation brackets?

Maybe, I'm going to see how bad the angles are without them first. I do plan to modify the bumpstops to allow for more travel in the rear.

The issues come into play with suspension travel, even with our 4" rear drop it is close back there. I have a few plans just to see what can be done to remedy that without the cut kit.
But if it does come down to me needing it it's an easy mod.

They told me the control arms will hit stuff going lower

And its a real possibility that the arms may hit without the cut kit. I know the first thing they will hit is the cup that holds the bumpstop.
The 4th gens had a no cut relocation bracket, it would be nice if someone came out with one for the 5th gens!

Can you guys fill me in on what you're talking about?

Going any lower than 4 inches requires a cut bracket.

Here is a good shot and explanation of the brackets.

Thank you. There's a lot to it.

This isn't necessary for the 2/4?

Not needed for a 2/4 but anything lower it’s needed.

Nope, not needed on the 2/4.
I will say I've been real tempted to cut the bumpstop cups off as even on my 2/4 I've smacked them a couple times.
On the way to work there is a small bridge at the bottom of a hill with a weird transition/dip back onto the pavement. If I hit that at anything above 54mph I contact the bumpstops.
But I have been running without airbags since I lowered it, I have the bags sitting here just never got around to installing them, lol

I see. I have the airbags right now with my reverse level.

No airbags on mine and I cut the cups completely off. I haven’t bottomed out at all. My front wheels have made contact with my fender liners a few times but that’s due to my offset of the wheels.

Sweet, then the cups are definitely coming off mine.
I'll be putting the bags in mine soon as I'm right in the middle of a garage remodel and I have a LOT of gravel to tow.

When I had the reverse level springs in I was towing over a ton of gravel without bags and it was fine, I also had over 1400lbs of capstone in the bed with zero problems.

I had a little over 1,000 lbs and the very back of the bed and was on the bumpstops with the 2inch springs this weekend. I don’t have airbags yet.

Panhard bar bracket was all in the Borla pipe.

I have a question for everyone. I am lowering my truck with the 2/4 kit soon and did notice some users say when using the spohn panhard bar that you do not need the relocation brackets is that true? Trying find a good DIY of the kit

 

[ferraiolo1]

Correct. Only thing you use from the maxtrac rear kit is the sway bar links l, shocks and springs if using the spohn bar
