A - Jerry,
When ever a
vehicle is lowered there is a reduction in the amount of suspension
travel. Because of this the spring rate (how
much weight it takes to deflect a spring one-inch)
is increased. Suspension
travel and steering geometry are the main things to be concerned about
when lowering any vehicle. If we go too low things under the car can start
hitting each other. And if we go too low in the front we can created
steering problems.
Our
rules are go no lower than 2-inches with coil springs and 3-inches with
leaf springs and the above problems can be avoided.
Even
with the maximum amount of lowering the increase in spring rate can be
held to 15% or less. In reality this is not enough to effect the ride.
So
go low my son. - Mike
