Anybody ever tried to lower the rear of their truck?
My favorite "work-horse" is my 92 Dodge W250. 4WD, extended cab, long bed, Cummins intercooled-turbo 5.9 diesel, five-speed Getrag, etc.
Problem is - it's overly high in back. 4"-5" higher in back then in front when empty. It's caused many problems over the years. Now - I just got a different truck camper and cannot back into my barn with a 10' 4" ceiling. It is no problem with my Ford 1994 F250 4WD,j diesel, ex-cab, long-bed. It's 4" lower.
I'm wondering why Dodge did this? Same truck with regular cab is 2" to 3" lower. With the extended cab - Dodge stuck in 6" high cast-iron riser blocks between the axles and springs. Looks the same as on my 1969 Power Wagon.
I'd hate to cut these blocks in half and then find out I ruined handling or something. Anyone else ever tried this?
