Suspension

Start Here: Two Questions

2WD or 4WD? It decides nearly everything on this page. The 4WD trucks lift on leaf springs; the 2WD trucks are the ones with a real lowering option.

What year, and is it an Extra Cab? Our rear leaf sets are listed 1989-1994 rather than through 1995, and the 4WD Extra Cab takes its own set because the wheelbase is different. If yours is a 1995, or an Extra Cab, check with us rather than assuming the standard set covers it.

Where to Go From Here

• Lift kits — the biggest section. 3" to 5" rear kits, LCE leaf spring sets, a 2WD +3.5" kit, solid-axle swaps and long travel.
• Lowering kits — and these are real kits, not just torsion bars: DJM complete 3" front and 3" rear for the 1989-1995 2WD, a rear-only kit, Calmax control arms and a 3" steel block.
• Stock height — replacement springs and shocks for a truck staying at factory height.
• Brackets and hardware — hangers, shackle mounts, U-bolt flip kits, link brackets and shock hoops.

Stock-Height Springs and Shocks

• 4WD rear, 1989-1994 — heavy-duty rear set
• 4WD Extra Cab rear, 1989-1994 — its own set
• 2WD rear, 1989-1994 — heavy-duty 2WD set
• Carrying weight? The EZ Level 1500lb helper spring kit adds capacity without changing ride height.
• Front end — Old Man Emu front shocks and Sway-A-Way 4WD torsion bars.

Lowering a 2WD

The DJM complete 3"/3" kit is the straightforward answer for a 1989-1995 2WD. If the front is already where you want it, the Calmax control arms handle the front on their own.

Tell us the year, the cab and the drivetrain and we will confirm before you order. The rest of the 5th gen Pickup catalogue is one level up.
