Anyone have any experience?
I have had this idea nagging me for a long time. Having a hard time committing.
Currently 1995 F350 Diesel 4x4. Reverse shackle but stock, oem springs. It is also has custom 4" lift. It rides okay, I think it rides really well for what it is.
But I need to lower it back down. Currently have to let air out of the tires to get it in and out of my garage, plus I am getting older, and my wife is short.
Rather than just lowering it, I have had this curiosity of a coil spring or coil over conversion for years. Currently I think it rides as nice as my 2014 super duty with 180K miles on it.
But lowering it, changing tires will probably change that. I am not sure I would gain much by just going with coil springs, but I could be wrong?
Been fascinated with carrick customs kit. I should be able to stay close to stock height. But it is spendy. Major fab work, as in welding on the axle.
Carrick Customs
Or there is kits like the Madd Dog customs, much cheaper but I don't think I can keep near stock height.
Madd Dog
Or, considering the increasing value of pristine trucks in that era, do I want to leave it closer to stock?
Are there other options? I know the '05 swap is cheap and highly recommended but Not sure I can keep the truck low enough, nor do I really want to swap axles after all the work I have already done.
this is a truck I still plan on keeping. I drive it all over the country now and plan on towing a camper with it into retirement. But at the same time I don't want to completely destroy the value by doing something not easily undone.
