lowering the front of a peterbilt

Search, there are a couple of threads on this topic.

Generally speaking though, it's a straight axle vehicle with either leaf springs or air bags. The principles are the same as with a smaller vehicle, just applied to a larger scale.

 

Depends on how LOW u want to go and or you want to be able to lift it back up
simple and easy take the blocks out of the front end lowers about 1 " maybe
you can also use air bags on the front to raise or lower to desired height makes front end a little goofy to drive if your not used to it they also have a panhard style bar for the front that helps have to check out some of the trucks at the shows vegas louisville or the latino one in cali is really awesome

 

same concept bigger air bags ive seen some of them done with everything from the big and tall peterbilt low air leaf bags to the short kw 8 bags the later being most popular . if you know how to bag a pick-up then you can bag a big truck . id love to do mine keep us informed

 

22.5 lo-pros gonna b the lowest id go on a tractor due to loaded weights unless you know you'll be lighter than normal then you could get the low profile street tires like for pick-ups

 

If you want to use the low pro pick-up wheels you'll have to have the wheels modified down to 22 from 22.5. I personally find even the low profile 22.5 wheels to look funny and small on the front of a truck. You end up with a huge fender to tire gap all the way around the wheel.

The best way is like I said in the other post about lowering. Set the static ride height with whatever setup you like using a car hauler drop axle and leaf spring etc then add airbags to raise the truck to a usable driving height.

 

How much does it affect the way the truck handles?
