Lowering a Peterbilt 379!!

Hey, I have the old style low air susp on my 98 Pete. I want to lower mine, when you moved your hangers , did you need to but a smaller air bag or shock? Were your u joint angles still fine? Lowers it about 3" right?

 

Man that is such a nice truck it looks sure good the way you have it set up

 

What's wrong with gun racks?

 

Personally, I like ground clearance...

 

I have no problem with them. The weeks after 9-11 we were in the east coast. Everyone with a truck big and small had a gun rack up until then for decades.

Then the nervous people started calling down the Law on every single one. Cleared em all out in a month. Poof.

 

So anyone have a partnumber for the shorter blocks? Really hating the factory fender gap and dont want to put airride yet($$$$) =. My spring guy said he couldnt find a shorter block. Any ideas?

 

Any good Pete dealer should be able to help you. Or if you have a truck wrecking yard near by take a tape measure and go for a walk

 

Tried with the mississauga dealership.. said this is the shortest they came with based off my vin. Need someones advice whos done this before or has a lower than average petes from factory lol.

 

The problem is your parts guy is using the VIN. That will only pull up what came on YOUR truck not all parts available. Find a truck that has the blocks you want then give him that VIN or find a REAL parts guy.

 

How tall are yours? A Pete with low-low air leaf shouod have short blocks on the front to match. I'm thinking about 2" are the lowest. I have a short one around somewhere if l can find it lol to measure.
