lowering a one ton

[northerngn]

Is there a way to lower a 1 ton dually but still have it be one ton capable?
I'm sure dropped spindles for the front but what on the rear?
I plan on towing my race car to that track with a 20 foot open trailer and my golf cart and scooter on the flatbed...
I think my r3500 would look more badass and less Sanford and son if it was lowered!
Thanks in advance!

You can static drop the rear with a cnotch and helper bags or go airride on the rear.

What if you did a rear flip and a notch?
Wouldn't it be a lot lower but still handle the one ton weight?
That's a big ass leaf spring pack I got back there!

Put one ton of payload in the bed and measure the amount of spring drop. You can do the drop with a cnotch then add helper bags if you bottom out. Lots of dropped and bagged duallys tow and haul.

It really depends on how much you want to drop it? Air bags are a great way. Flipping the axle would not workout well if at all. A 5000 lb air bag kit and a notch maybe. Just take some leaves out to drop it and use the airbag to carry the weight.

Can anything be done as far as shackles go?

I see a lot of talk on here about lowering with shackles...Maybe its just a half ton thing?

If it could be lowered with shackles I'd think that it would sit lower but not effect the load carrying ability?

Maybe I'm wrong?

ALWAYS open to ideas!
