HOW TO LOWER YOUR CUMMINS!! - DROP SHACKLES & BURNOUTS!!!

[@TheFullback44]

Dude!!! I've been looking for a video like this! So happy you were the one to put it out too. Awesome quality brother!

[@Dhane-0]

Lovin all these 4th gen videos.....

[@theodisthethird]

Put drop shackles and removed the overload on my 1500 yesterday. Couldn't have done it without this video! 👍🏾

[@jays4forces]

I have to agree. the neighbors always love a straight pipe Cummins full throttle lmao

[@un_average_gang]

jays4forces I mean I would lol

[@TheDieselDangler]

I hope that wasn’t full throttle

[@KSCummins6.7L]

I know this is an old vid but I’m glad you made it all the same. Finally getting around to dropping Betty my 08 mega and this vid is exactly the info I needed

[@laineschwehr6075]

Finally! I've rounding up new u bolts and pins, to finally lower the rear of my mega cab. Love the videos man keep it up.

[@untameddiesel3813]

thank you for this did my 05 today was thanking for a week that I would have to add washers thanking the unbolts were not going work after taking the over loud and the little blocks

[@k2parkstar160]

Awesome video bud. Good quality, music, step by step, drone work. I don't even own a dodge but I look forward your videos. Buying a 2nd gen in the near future tho. Shared

[@kennethjames3349]

Hi Guys I have a 07.5 Big horn 3500 4X4 6.7 I Used the shackles you showed. Ya don't much drop cuz you only drop the back. and you twist the axle forward on the radius. You change the pinion angle. U-joints don't like to be at different angles. If you have secondary's it get compounded. The rear of the secondary's hit first twisting it up. All that stuff likes to stay square with the wheel travel. Worse yet the slip yoke is in the Transfer case. All that motion ends up at the Yoke. SWB (1pc driveshaft no center barring) Here's What I'm thinking. Drop the main pack to two leaf's. Move the removed two to the secondary's and put the factory shackles back in. Use the blocks to close the gap of the helpers to their contact points to stop spring wrap and take up U-bolt length. The up side, you put the spline deeper in the case and reduce shaft angle. If they get out of balance they tare stuff up.

[@capsman04]

Greg says Heig"TH". Now officially my favorite youtuber haha.

[@CHVLKiD]

Damn motorcycle😂. Looking great man👍🏻. Appreciate the info, further providing cheap easy ways to accomplish what people want without breaking the bank.

[@la9482]

Not a Ram guy, but loved the video. Just flipped my F350 dually and waiting on the bags. But beautiful trucks. Great videos.

[@tracehorn9074]

Can confirm you do not need to keep that plastic centering thing. The 2 bolts that keep the spring pack together center the u-bolt plate just fine, and if that's centered then the axle is also. Think about it

[@TacticoolTommy]

Sweet 4th Gen Regular Cab. I've got a 2012 Regular Cab with a S467 swap & a Suncoast 68Mega. Keep up all the great videos! There hasn't been a bad one yet.

[@vinnyslawncare]

Tacticool Tommy no you don’t

[@Hilifestyle907]

Awesome video! Just got my first Cummins and your videos really help.

[@ChaosFragrances]

Off topic, but what vehicle is your daily driver?

[@Cumminslife]

Great video man.

[@jsnmart97]

like to see a video about how to keep your Dodge running in top shape! something more than just keeping the fluids and stuff change regularly know what to ask when you take it to mechanic if you want to just tuned up what to look for or listen for for early signs of things going wrong or wearing out what wears out first what does it what to keep and I out for ect

[@plumcrazypurp]

Damn that's a nice truck. I'd love for my next truck to be a single cab 4th gen cummins. I hope we'll see more vids of this truck.

[@cummins0391]

Great video!!! Thanks for the info. Regular cab long bed looks awesome. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@uriahevans1107]

sick video dawg

[@wallaceryan77]

I definitely like your how to videos man. A video on the drone would be cool

[@sparksrocket]

Does running 3 leaf pack make the ride any better ? I need to lower my 06 in the back great video 👍🏻🐌

[@burnnc10454]

thanks Greg, as always a great video. very informational.

[@kingpohhere2678]

dude holy, those rims look like a deep dish version of the f150 rims

[@r3d1911]

hey Greg i know this is a old video and a great one at that just today doing my reverse level on my 04. you said in the video you lowered the front of your race truck 2" question... did you cut the factory coil? did you use 2500 v8 or v10 springs? or did you somehow find a aftermarket company that actually, makes them? or worst are there custom you had made? my overall goal is 2"drop front and 4" rear . long story short i want my 04 to sit EXACTLY like your race truck. eventually I'm going to get traction bars like you run. so being I'm on budget and not a big one lol.... after the reverse level what would your idea on getting, my 04 Cummins to sit exactly or damn near like your race truck.... it sits absolutely perfect! i love is stance. what size wheels and tires are you running on the race truck? do you have a set to drive it on the street and then change and drive another set at the strip? thanks for your help the tires i want to eventually get are nitto 420s as they are supposed to be really great to drive everyday and get decent traction at the strip. and while i don't know what kinda wheels yet i have decided 20x10 wheels of some sort. and running 305/50/20. so when lowering the truck i keep that in mind so they can fit and not rub at all while turning.

[@tracehorn9074]

He says in the video that they are coilovers. Read: lots of money. Also, you're definitely going to rub with this good stance we all like, no way around it. Just trim the fenders it's not hard

[@Justin-xo4ko]

Greg, love your videos. Can you go over tire, wheel, offset options on the trucks? I know there are many options out there. Thanks

[@kevinpager8671]

I ordered the lowering shackles that you recommend. Can you make a video showing how to install them?

[@tailopez5106]

Your tow rig is my dream truck

[@NEEZY69]

The person in the back of the beginning of the video waving lol

[@erniecashmoney1]

Awesome video man helped out a lot

[@jgrow953]

So, what's the benefit of having the rear of the truck lower than the front? I'm curious.

[@beerbellygolf8437]

hey man thanks for making this video. One question will this work with lift blocks in the back I have a 4" lift and the rear sits way too high. thanks

[@jacobtechau9370]

lol love whoevers waving in the doorway

[@Buhl369]

turn the torchin keys in the front an that wil bring ur front end up

[@timothyearp631]

Any advice for doing this to a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins? Getting that tailgate height down will make using the truck as a truck so much easier.

[@matthewhickling549]

I also have a 4th gen mega cab 3500. I havent done this yet but I will be. Should I take the overload out and put airbags in to find that "perfect" level, or do the same way in the video, add airbags and if I dont achieve my "perfect" level buy those drop shackles? Air bags are going in no matter what.

[@RLMNZ]

Hey Greg, great work on the videos keep it up! Where is the best place to get lowered coils for an 02-05?

[@eavesstreet6307]

what about pinion angles? and with traction bars they have a different swing pitch compared to leaf springs hows that effect pinion angle? just wonder how many pinion bearings and u-joints you guys go through? you have to have driveshift vibrations.

[@andrewstone4373]

Aren't you supposed to replace the U bolts because they stretch when torqued down?

[@andreined8463]

Were can i get those drop shackles on the white megacab?

[@jakeblackman5930]

let me start out by saying, i love the videos and the trucks, keep them coming! but I've put the 2in drop shackles on my 01 cummins 2wd, and it came out great. I'm not one to nit pick any videos, especially yours...but when you were describing how the drop shackles work, you actually described it backwards. if you're putting drop shackles on your truck, it actually moves those 2 holes further away from each other, not closer together. my drop shackles are about 7 inches long, where as the stock are around 5.

[@jasonwilliams4063]

What lowering coils u using on front? Seen it on race truck

[@650Edwin]

Anyone see that person at 1:00

[@Dray12321]

its Jesse

[@buddywarfield6529]

The person in the door way 😂😂

[@rbarber1004]

Great video... question for you if I do this and only remove the 2 blocks and keep the overload spring but also do the drop shackles will it effect towing at all

[@_greg_a]

No sir

[@ricardomoreira2689]

What happened to the single cab? Never saw it again.

[@jawadlouazna]

Hi Greg, Love the videos keep them coming. I have ram 2010 2500 6.7 with 3 inch carli suspension. because I tow my 14k fifth wheel I would like to lower it to stock. would recommend cutting the Springs up front? or just get a new ones? I like how softer the truck rides now and don't want to change it. Thanks in advance.

[@_greg_a]

Ya I agree any progressive coil is going to ride much nicer, if your gonna go back down defiantly get new stock ones, cutting ones does not make more a good ride and is more geared towards a track or weekend truck. you wouldn't be happy with the ride.

[@lakevacm]

I need to do this cause of an old garage. Does lowering the suspension negatively affect any handling aspects that were engineered to the original suspension height?

[@bm2073]

03-05 has different rear suspension setup. 06-08 is the one you can lower easily

[@bm2073]

yes you can pull the spacers, but drop shackles on 03-05 rub frame

[@bm2073]

03-05 have leaf under hanger suspension, so you can only lower it so much. the AirBagIt parts I ordered lasted about 2 days before I started hearing metal squeak. sure enough, rubbing. 06-08 have the nice leaf over hanger setup where you can just extend the hanger to lower the rear (need to pay attention to pinion angle)

[@CreamyCornCob]

Why can't I find a video just like this but for a 2nd gen, 2001 dually 3500 with a factory overload leaf?! I got 7+ inches of fender gap in the rear with this 2wd. HELP PLEASE!

[@Yourmom1670]

So you just moved the bottom two blocks to the top?

[@christopherwhite7035]

I have an 04 2500 2wd and want to level it. was wondering if I should level the front to rear or rear to front.

[@jdirt1982]

Does removing the overloads make it ride any smother ????? 🤔🤔🤔

[@taylorworth7058]

Where did you order your lowering coils for the front. Thinking I may cut a half to full coil soon. What are your thoughts

[@mmerzzz3542]

When your a noob to trucks like myself, your videos are a great learning exp. Thanks for the HD video production :D

[@_greg_a]

No problem, Thanks for the support!

[@55quadboy]

You sir have one nice truck!

[@_greg_a]

Thanks!

[@ChannelZeroOne]

Does the caltracs help with axel wrap as good as trac bars? I am trying to stay as incognito as I can while trying to achieve 1000ish HP. I am researching now to make a purchase soon, so if you got an affiliate link it might pay off. 2006 ram 2500 quad cab 2wd.

[@tractorboy31]

why lower it in ass. ive liked pu high in the rear. but nice used spacers on top. so if gets sold and wants put back. parts are still there. how hard is installing traction bars. im looking into 3500 dually to pull my 13k trl

[@sf7708]

Does this fix to lower the rear of Rams apply to the 3500 dually as we’ll? The squat on my new Ram 4x4 is not enough to level my 5th wheel trailer so it’s riding nose high. I have independent suspension on th fiver so flipping the axles is a no go.

[@raymondcarire5676]

What kind of wheels do that truck has and size

[@mattoates87]

Greg the front coils you said are lower are they cut 05 stock coils or 2nd gen coils or aftermarket? Great videos keep up the good work

[@jasonwilliams4063]

Curious myself

[@EveryTimeCummins]

Where do you get your traction bars and brackets?

[@policronia]

Can u share the rim/tire specs/back spacing set up on that reg cab 4th gen?

[@christrapp5591]

Can you put the centering pin on the overload spring?

[@domdc]

What size are those mags and tires ? Thanks

[@btulpan4948]

what airbags do you use on your towing rig?

[@cummingsbrianna2000]

Hey Greg, I have a 2016 cummins 2500 and I was wanting to lower the rear to make it level like in your videos with some 20x12 forces, And I am curious on the best way to do that with coils in the rear seeing how I don't have leafs. I heard some guys getting 2wd springs for about a 1 3/4 in drop in the rear. Thoughts?? Thanks, -Anthony

[@psyguy8681]

What wheels they look so good

[@branbuck1]

I have 2010 3500 want to do the reverse level and take out overload, but I haul a 16ft enclosed trailer will it be ok to remove overload

[@ramonbarba8161]

Hi, My baby is a 95 single cab dually, and i wanted to ask your opinion on what i should use to lower her? I want to go down atleast 2 inches all around.

[@redgiemorris2578]

Just curious if you know if there is any set up I can run on a 2nd gen dodge with stock height and run 20x12 without rubber bands for tires so I can just reverse level the rear?

[@cummins0391]

Is Jesse going to do future upgrades and if so hopefully videos of it?

[@_greg_a]

Yes we will be covering everything in his build coming soon.

[@lindseylavender]

truck is sick!!!

[@richardclark7948]

will that work on a 06 2wd also?

[@EveryTimeCummins]

Lovin the vids bro! Anywhere specific where you get your new u-bolts for the rear axle?

[@_greg_a]

Most of the time I will reuse the stock ones doing this, if for some reason i need new ones or shorter ones, there is a big rig shop that can make me any size needed. Thanks for the support.

[@shotgunmotorsports8232]

Any chance you have seen anybody lower the rear of Coil spring trucks. Im looking to lower mine in the back but there is not much info out the rear coil over suspension??

[@mikemccallon6957]

Josh Albert I cut I coil out of mine and it dropped it 4 inches. Wish I had pictures of it . I did the same to my 1500.

[@pinkley22]

what kind of camera are you filming with?

[@skylarsell8022]

What is the wheel and tire set up. Keep up the great work

[@_greg_a]

20x12, 305/50/20

[@munklikescheese9507]

GREG_ALBERALLA any idea the offset? Seems like everything I try I need to tuck and cut. Ahhh

[@Treeguyjose]

What are the wheel dimensions on that 4th gen! Please lemme know asap

[@tonyturner779]

Does this effect towing or payload at all?

[@thenewlife.pt2724]

What brand are his drop shackles

[@bradleyrinker2378]

What lowering coil springs do you use for your competition truck?

[@jasonwilliams4063]

Intrested

[@SnoStig]

Was that your brother waving in the window in the beginning?

[@MattKalicki21]

Hey man where are you from I keep seeing New York plates in your videos I'm out on eastern Long Island so I'm just curious

[@elijahcorbett7476]

can i basically do the same thing for a 99 ram 2500 cummins 2wd

[@estebanjr5901]

Hi to the person behind the door lol 👍

[@lanehooper8281]

Is the pulling truck you have videos of yours??

[@_greg_a]

I have one older video of "redemption" it used to be mine, I built it all and sold it awhile ago.

[@tannermorton4406]

What color is the trac bars on the race truck?

[@macknight1881]

So how far did the rear come down?

[@khandwerk13]

what air bag system do you have in your truck?

[@_greg_a]

Believe its from RideRite

[@johnsigafoose6243]

where did you get the track bars for your race truck?

[@_greg_a]

There Caltracs, geared a little more towards a racing setup

[@josezintzun4690]

Does the 1 block and 4 springs work on a 04 single cab short Bed 5.7 truck also? (No 4x4)

[@Flyinndutchmane518]

JOSE Zintzun Yes

[@patrickchavez8149]

What size of rim and wheels are those. Do they rub at all when fully turning?

[@_greg_a]

They are 20x12, 305/50/20. No rubbing.

[@justinledoux4938]

Let's get some pics of this date that has Jesse all worked up. Haha.

[@kylewilliamson9418]

What size tires are on your 08?

[@nickbarry548]

Should you get shorter shocks in the rear after you do that?

[@_greg_a]

I haven't found a real real need for them, there is still a good amount of room for compression after moving everything down. Yes you defiantly could but isn't "needed"

[@jjthejetplane244]

So you could put Bilstein 5100 series shocks on it and it will be fine?

[@JohnnyKoch]

What size/brand shocks do u run on the comp truck with those fleece flush mounts?

[@_greg_a]

The bilstein part # they recommend with them online I think its listed

[@LouSassles]

Never a true fan of a lift on trucks. But love lowered "drag stance" trucks

[@aliagasergio]

what camera are you using?
