FRPP 2" drop shackle and spring?

[AlexD13]

Any one using it? Opinions? Pics?

got it on mine.coming off in a few weeks to go lower

I have it a love it. This will not be an extreme drop by any means, but it absolutely improves the handling. Its a great drop for a DD and the price can't be beat. If mine wasn't a DD I would have gone lower.

 

[slammedi'am]

mine is a DD

Sweet all I needed to know. Pics??

exactly what i want.

any more extreme and you gotta replace shocks, bolts, and what not and i just want a little lower and some better handling.


is the handling gains all that noticeable?

Yea it handles a little better. You'll still have to get an alignment and possibly camber bolts. I'd get them from LFP though, as Firestone charged me over $100 for mine. I was pissed when I found that out, after the fact.

 

[AlexD13]

you wouldnt by chance have a pic before and after the drop would ya?

 

[01svtL]

Nope, sorry. If I get a chance to clean it up tomorrow I'll take some pics. I'm planning to go a little lower in the near future.

 

[AlexD13]

yeah ill go lower later but right now, with the way my colleges campus is and what not, im really not putting a bunch of money into a drop... too many speed bumps, idiots, and dips.

thanks!!

It's a good cheap kit. I had one but never installed it.

Yea, to me the spring for the front rides better than stock. I didn't really notice much additional stiffness at all. The little bit it DID add, I felt like it needed anyway.

I plan on picking up a set of leafs for the rear (I also have 1 leaf removed in the rear, but the 10-way Strange shocks keep the ride nice and smooth) and cutting the front springs half a coil w/ the addition of QA1's to hopefully absorb some of the bounciness it might produce. (sway bar is removed too, so the cut spring might counteract this a little as well)

I have the whole FRPP kit installed and the ISO's removed in front. I wish the rear was another inch or so lower.

I installed the FRPP 1/2 kit about 3 years ago and, for the money, you can't beat it. Replacing the front iso's with heater hose netted me an inch and a half both front and rear. As others have said the ride didn't change much and handling was slightly improved.

About 6 months ago I removed the 2 helper leafs in the rear (mine's an '03) and got another 2 inches out back. I cut the bump stops as well. This caused a bit of a rougher ride out back. I just received some shock extenders via the Big Edbsoky and I will be installing them this weekend along with removing my hitch. The extenders should really help the ride in the rear.

Good luck with the install.
