Okay, I have been loving and studying this thread like crazy. I have an 83 2wd Ramcharger that is getting a set of 91-96 dropped spindles. I put new energy suspension urethane bushings in the upper control arm and cant get them to go back on. I squeezed everything together with my vice. Is that not enough? Do I need to use a press? What's the trick, if any? I am doing the spindles and some cut 3/4 ton coils

Im guessing it has 225s or 235s on it. Makes me wish I hadnt gotten rid of my 92 2wd that is now a 4wd duelly deisel

Thanks. I did the Dakota spindles and 3/4 ton coils with 2 1/2 coils cut out. In the rear its only got 2 leaves in it. I'm going to put one leaf back in and do some dropped shackles. Hopefully I will be driving it next week. In that pic it has 30 9.5 15's on it. I'm working on a deal for some 17's for it.

Just a question on the Dakota spindles . Are you guys using mother mopar stock or aftermarket 2" drop spindles .

They are using Aftermarket 2" Drop Dakota Spindles

any one ever tried tried western chassis dropped dakota spindles? they are $199.

Front is a pair of custom coils from Coil Spring Specialties. Same spring rate, wire size etc but 2" shorter.
Rear is a ton of modifications but I'm think it's pretty close to stock height.
3800lbs B body Superstock springs, relocated hangers and Firestone airbags to hold extra weight. If the bed is empty, I run the bags with no air pressure.

245 60 15's and 275 60 15 on 8" rim.

My 84 I started but decided to pull all the suspension out and put in my 82. The brown truck is the 84 and the red truck is my 82.

My turd
Not lowered much just 2" DJM drop coils for an S10 up front and stock, sagging leafs out back, but if anyone is wondering how 2" S10 drop coils would look, here ya go.

I lowered it a little more and did some quick rust repair Gotta start with something

Dropped it some . Great looking trucks weather rusty or not

Here's mine.....Flipped the rear springs, narrowed 8 3/4 rear. Dropped front control arms.

Heres mine, cut 1 1/2 coils and flipped the rear springs. It'll look better with lo-profile tires.
In the garage right now, cleaning and painting the frame, firewall, and motor.
