Has anyone found a souse for drop spindles for a 92 D250? I would like to replace the front springs but like the low front end. I plan on lowering the rear also.

I noticed this post where the guy turned the front rear leaf spring mounts upside down.

Is this what you did as well. On the year I would use a longer shacke rather than cut the mount off and make it higher as this guy did. Don't think he needed to cut the rear mount up.

Thanks for your time.

Mid America Customs has 2 inch drop springs and lower control arms....

 

Sorry guys, I'm a 2wd D250, i was talking about the rear leaf spring, front hanger!

Here is a good thread on lowering trucks on Ramcharger Central

 

$600 for lower control arms? I'm in the wrong business!

 

Yea...Thats what I thought too..

 

So nobody manufactures drop spindles for the old Dodges? When I find the right 3rd gen, the dually is getting a resto probably with air ride. I am NOT paying that much money for control arms, I'll fabricate them and probably half the air system for $600. I am still shocked by the price.

 

Those are for 1/2 ton anyways.

 

Yeah but if you swap the bushing it's the same control arm.

 

The uppers are the same. The lower control arms are diesel specific...and the later 1st Gens are better than the earlier ones. 92-93' are the better ones IIRC.

 

interesting. thicker casting, boxed or what? could later control arms be swapped into an '89-'91?

 

Yes they can. I swapped diesel to gasser, gasser to diesel blah blah blah. What is different in the gasser is the lower control arm bushing and the hole in the frame are smaller and use a smaller bolt.

 

6 bills is still alittle thick man....
