Can You Lower The Rear Of The Truck With Boomers Lowering Kit And Not Do The Front?

[K-80-123]

Can you lower just the rear end of a QC and not the front?..:dontknow: ..or will that screw things up?.. ...I am going to lower but I like where the front sits now.....still can go over those parking bumpers with no problem.

You know what Walt, I would love to do the exact same thing. I couldn't even think about making it up my driveway with the front lowered, but that rear sure would look better with a couple of inches of drop.

Maybe Hennessy could do it for you, if you don't mind waiting for your truck until Halloween that is! (sorry, I just couldn't resist LOL)

Halloween, thats a bit optimistic isnt it I couldnt resist either. I wouldnt mind lowering the back of mine as well.

I wanna do the same thing, I like where the front sits and just wanna lower the rear to make it level.

I did it on my RC. Some will say it affects the handling, but I don't really notice it. I'm guessing that if I lower the front it will turn in a little better, but I'm satisfied with it as it is. I may lower the front at some time in the future.

For you QC guys that lower the rear and then decide to lower the front, there is a set of Boomer QC springs floating around the site looking for a home.

 

[Nowwhat]

With a QC you can lower the back about 2.5" with Boomer's flip kit and then the shackles that raise it back up.....

Soo....by eyeballing it...or measuring if you are Silver.. ..would 2.5" in the back and 0 up front be ok......

Call me an idiot if this is a stupid question, but for us QC guys, would it be possible just to swap the rear leaf springs with leafs from an RC? That would bring it down wouldn't it?

No. It would probably raise it higher. The RC springs are a better spring. You have to flip the springs under the axle to lower it and boomer makes the best kit for that.

Oh I always thought the RC had a lower ride height in the rear. Dammit! There goes my way out.

 

[SRT10VENOMOUS]

yep the Rc is lower much lower.. when i park beside a QC it looks liek a damm off road mudder LOL

They do have a lower ride height while stock, but the RC comes with the springs under the axle and the QC comes with the springs on the top of the axle.

Oh I see that makes sense. Thanks for ruining my hopes haha!

They make shackles to lower the rear. Check on Hemitruckclub.com for info. Probably do a search. Aim Industries sells a lot of shackles. I have lowered some Ford F 350's just in the rear.

I called BellTech to see if they have any shackles, they told me the Ram 1500 shackles wouldn't work on our trucks.

Here's mine from the side on the move. It looks like I am slamming the breaks on the freeway. But I promise I wasn't. Sumthin's gotta be done..:hmpf:

 

[Scrambler1]

Talk to Boomer, he can work with his kit to get you what you want.

Yep, that's how mine looked. Hated it. It's now level and I like it.

guys we offer our rc kit in a few variations, we offer a lowedring kit that only drops the front about 3/4 inch & the rear 1.5", and then you stil retain what you are after, BUT you get the benefit of our inproved front springs for better ride & reduced body roll, as well as our better valved shocks.
for you QC guys we do the same thing, and you also have the advantage of an adjustable rear ride height, AND we offer a kit that includes new RC springs for those who want more payload/towing ability & the ultimate in ride and comfort!
we have a kits that can vary in depth and application so let us know how you want it to be & we can probably accomodate you, and give you the benefits of a better ride & handling at the same time.

:dito:

I don`t reccomend just dropping the rear w/o the front being done .See above.
