Truck Too Tall
Could some tell me if theres any , lowering kit (rear spacer blocks) for the Dodge 02 3500 4x4, bad me i never really paid much atention to just how tall the truck was when i bought in jan 02, me and my wife live full time in are 5th and have been in nevada awhile now, were in a full time park, anyway the old truck was 54in from ground up to top bed rail worked fine. Our new truck 02 ,oh how i enjoy my truck. and after reading from all of you, that have the 03 i can only wish/hope and make payments and think about those quite road trips :'( > Anyway back to the question Are new truck is 60in from ground to top bed rail. just a little bit to high for most tralers, This wouldnt be a problem, if i was just going to use it to pull our 5th, id just flip the axles, but i was thinking on leaseing to one of those rv transport companys, and to do that i would need to get back to a standerd height. can any one help me on this, i have thought of going to a machine shop and cutting some inchs off the spacer blocks but would perfer to do job right. thxs TnT Tom and Tammy

Re:Truck Too Tall
This may not help you, TnT, but let me throw it to you, anyway -- I put a 2.5 inch lift kit in the front of my '02 3500 4x4 (two Skyjacker springs available from National Tire & Wheel in Wheeling, WV, for about $140; nothing else needed), and I found that by "levelling out" the front end in relation to the rear end, the new angle-of-departure was such that the rear body dropped by a couple inches -- bumper, hitch, and bed. Don't know if that's enough -- but it looks better, handles better, and supports that heavy CTD up front better. So even if it doesn't work for you, it wouldn't be wasted money and effort. <br><br>GP
