Hey there RUclips friends! This week on TWG we tackle lowering another dodge square body! This time its a 1990-91 Dodge D150 Short Wide with a 318 Magnum. She still has a bit of work to be road ready but she will be there soon! This time the only purchased parts for this lowering are the Lower Control Arms and new U-Bolts. So I would say this is a Budget Lowering Video for these old girls. So follow along as we take this truck from Stock To Stanced!

Thank You... Way Cool ... Very helpful... Peace & Blessings in your Travels
You are right when you mentioned clean no cracked dashes. I just picked up an 86 D250 and I was shocked to see its dash so straight. I'm used to square body chevys full of cracks like my 83 C10s dash was after I "fixed it".... with a dash cover lol
Like it never happened. Lol. But yea hard to find a dodge dash from the 80s at least that is all cracked up.
@twiztedwrenchgarage lol yup, good as new.. And yes, I agree. I was definitely pleasantly surprised
those wheels look awesome on the truck
I agree 👍
I've own about seven of these trucks never a broken dash . Have a good day
Pretty awesome.
glad i found your channel, i've got an 88 d100 sitting in storage that i NEED to get back on the road.
Glad you found the channel as well. Thanks for subscribing. Hope I can help you get that old girl back on the road.
@@twiztedwrenchgarage no problem!! I'm going to be starting to work on her in the near future. Will be posting videos of her
Brandon LS Fruth, he's the guy that makes the tubular uppers and also the sleeve for the lower control arm pivot bolt so you can use the original bolt without having to drill the frame for the larger B-series LCA.
He is in Virginia, and there's a substantial wait time on the uppers. Mine was 6 mos from order placement to delivery.
That's a crazy wait time. But from what I've seen he does great work.
Dude great video! I just picked up a 86 Dodge Ram up in Choctaw. I noticed you're up in El Reno, I'm in Norman. I just might have to make a trip up to you. I'm just missing the front grill.
Well thats a friend of mines shop. Im back in my Home garage.
Nice 66 or 67 charger at the end,my dad had a few of them when I was a kid
Yea they are some cool car for sure.
I have a small channel too and am looking for one of these trucks for a shop truck. Thanks for going through the process.
Nice. Keep on going. I know where quite a few of these old truck are.
I got one for sell
Id recommend pulling shock and strut rod first though
Great info, Im fixing to lower My 89 D150
I would like a 3XL and a XL SHIRT AND Decal , Thank Again !!!
Right on. These trucks do look good lowered. I will put the order for the shirts and decal in.
Hey nice dodge truck … quick question what’s the name of that shop that has a lot of dodge trucks in front of it on the way to like Lucky star casino. Also does he sell parts thanks
Its just a personal shop. He does sell stuff "Sometimes" lol
I’m looking for a radio and the the axles for a 85 and up 8.25 5 Lilia axles so I can run the 2005 dodge steelies cause mines a 84 with 5-5 3/4 lug pattern lol … I got a 84 dodge d150 prospector
@user-hs4vf8mx4x yea that would work to do that. But you get less wheel options on 5x5.5 then you do with your current bolt pattern. You have to run 2 inch spacers with the factory 20 spares anyways so I would just het space adapters to run them instead of trying to change the bolt pattern.
I have a 1992 dodge ram d150 clubcab and the entire top of the dash is gone the only things that are there is the speedometer and the radio and ac and Speedo bezel
Dang that sucks.
lol what spring perch did u use … the part that goes between leaf spring and the axle. So I used a new spring perch and used the middle hole and then the drive shaft was too long and couldn’t bolt it up … pull it all back apart put it in the fwd hole and got the driveshaft bolted up and a mile down the road drive shaft fell out lol and new u joints and required it… so which one and way did u go with thanks
I got mine from speedway motors. But any 3 inch able perch will work. Glad you got your figured out. Those alignment holes can get ya for sure.
Just came across your channel , now subscribered , this truck , with the rear end flipped , is the filler for the rear end gear oil too low to get enough gear oil in it ? Also how did you mount the rear end vent tube and brake line set up ?
I am gonna check out some of the rest of your videos. Thanks...
Thanks for subbing. Your not really flipping the axle over your just moving the axle from under the leaf springs to over them. The fill is located in the same location. All brake lines and vent tube will also be in all the same.
@@twiztedwrenchgarage Ok , got you , my mistake.
GD! I got a 3rd gen, just got rid of my 4th gen to get a 5 gen. Both dropped, but I really am starting to feel these trucks. Good work on the D150.
Thanks. This truck sold and is now for sale in Texas.
So I test drove the truck for like a block or so after flip kit no issues … now my rear end u joints that are brand new just fell out and the bolts were tightened and now it’s all welded 😢…. So the original u joint fell out so I thought maybe it’s the wrong size since the truck came in pieces … what experiences have u had with wrong pinion angle ? Or wrong u joints cause I’m in a pickle lol and the side welded the shit out of the stuff
Dang. It is possible you had the wrong U-joints. I think the 727 and 904 use differnt ones. But its based on your outside diameter yoke span. Wrong Pinion angle can cause vibrations and binding in the driveshaft which could damage to the transmisson and rear diff.
I have the Ram Charger Wheels on My 89 Also.
I think the turbines look awesome as well.
I have two of these trucks, and one of them the dash is cracked all to hell.
Dang thats unfortunate.
What are the wheels? and size? awesome work got a 91 d150 myself just last week
Those are 20x9 factory steel spare wheels from a 2003 up dodge ram truck.
Those are the wheels I'm looking for. Probably too far to drive to get them when he gets his 20's.
Not sure he would sell the set he is swapping from but ill ask.
Hey quick question …. Does the flip kit actually take away the use of towing anything or loading the bed with stuff… cause I hear that installing drop shackles will get u the same amount lowering but still be able to load the bed jw have you or know someone that has tried it… thanks I’m in okc ok and looking for more truck parts if you know the way to reach the el reno auto shop thanks again
Well, with you will only lower the rear 2 inches. You can still haul stuff with just those but one you do a axle flip that drops the rear 6 inches. So with the flip and shackles you would need to do a c notch to the frame for towing heavy stuff. Light work is fine.
Cut the second bump stop off on the right side
bump stops were cut on both sides.
I have a 1988 with AC I’m in California
Brandon Furth is not making uppers anymore
Dang he was REALLY good at it.
Damn, Glad I got some uppers when I did. I worked with him on a couple projects but Im not on facebook anymore and lost contact with him. He helped me get my gauge panels off the ground and been making custom gauge panels for our trucks for the past 2 years now.
One last question I just order 15x10 for my truck it’s the same as in the video I have 15x8 in the front with 235/75/15 and I want the same wires on the back as the wheels that’s were on the truck in the start of the video and ideas on size for the back of mine I like how that trucks stand was
You should be able to run up to a 275 width on the rear it's tight but fits. 265 width if you wanna be on the safer side.
So like a 265 50 15?
@@danielstockwell4095 i would think you will still want like a 265/75. if you go smaller in total tire height you will effect the accuracy of the speedometer.
I got an 88 ram ramcharger 2 wheel drive and looking to put 17s from a 2003 . Is there adapters for doing so? Also plan on lowering like you did on that D150. Mine is a 100. Thanks
The offset of the 03 wheel will be different so you will need to run 2 inch spacers on front and 1-1/12 on rear. Or you can have the center of the wheel hub opened up by a machine shop to increase the size to 3.54 inchs. Or both your call.
Quick question lol after my drive shaft just fell out lol do u do the pinion angel with the truck on the ground or still jacked up in the air ?
You want to se your pinion angle with full weight on the truck can be in the air if you like.
Is it possible to lower a 78 3/4 ton pick up the same way? I cant find any info on 3/4 ton dodge pick ups.
Yes it should be doable. 71-93
Can you tell me where to buy the control arms
@@Jeffmacbeth-wx7ht I snagged mine from amazon. You can get them from any big parts places.
@@twiztedwrenchgarage so my truck is a 91 d150. Do I get my lower control arms from a 91 van ?
@Jeffmacbeth-wx7ht any year from 83 to 91 would work. But it has to be the b150 or b250 I believe. The b350 is different from my understanding.
@@twiztedwrenchgarage thank you for the reply
what van did they come off of ?
@@ElNinio_4ceite mid 80s B150
Is necessary use the Dakota drop spindles? Or is just to correct the camber on it?
You don't have to but it is a correction for the camber. I have seen alot of people run them on these ole rigs with good results.
@@twiztedwrenchgarage glad to hear it from you, just wanted to make sure to work on mine!! Thank you!!
if you dont lower it with a proper lowering kit you end up pushing all the joints and geometry to their max at stance versus having that normal percentage of up and down travel your alwals maxed out and just destroying all that... there are companies that take and keep your natural geometry and travel by extending the lowering kit.. they cost more sure but ride better and last better.
I would normally agree with you. But..... there is no lowing kit for these trucks. Whe you lower these truck with van lower control arms your not stressing anything on the front as the van lower control arms actually move the spring down into a pocket 2 inches lower than the truck ones. All the ball joints and such for the most part all stay the same. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@twiztedwrenchgarage What do you mean? there are a ton of lowering kits for d100s?
@romuluscreative I mean yea if you wanna spend 1500 plus bucks for a complete front end swap sure. But there is no company that make drop springs, drop spindles, etc. You can use dakota parts, but again, it is more costly then the way I did it.
What size spacers and tires are you running on the red d150?
You can use 2 inch spacers all the way around. Tires are 245/45/20
@@twiztedwrenchgarage I have 2 inch spacers on mine and my tires rub my fenders yours on the red truck look like they are tucked in the fender
@enjoythesho1992 what wheels? What size tires?
@@twiztedwrenchgarage 17s exact same wheels on the red dodge at the beginning of the video
@enjoythesho1992 what size tires you running?
My 91 d150 dash is all cracked up like a second gen
Dang. Sry to hear that. I guess I've been lucky
Will the control arms also work on a ‘76 d100 or just the later ones?
Yea, they will work just the same.
@@twiztedwrenchgarage Awesome! Thanks for getting back to me.
@@WyoCutlass71 No problem. If you check our mocals garage he did the same drop to a 70s dodge.
Alguien que me auxilie,no se inglés y deseo saber de qué vehículo o pickup son la orquillas que está instalando para achaparrarla,tengo una Doge ram 84 y deseo achaparrarla
Hola. Lo siento, no sé muy bien el español. Así que estoy usando un traductor para tratar de ayudarte. Para su camión, si desea bajarlo, deberá comprar brazos de control inferiores de un Dodge B-150 de 1980 para intercambiar los suyos. para la parte trasera, todo lo que necesita es un kit de cambio de eje para el tamaño del eje que está ejecutando. Espero que esto te ayude.
@@twiztedwrenchgarage Gracias por el apoyo, solo deseaba saber,sobre las orquillas inf,( Brazos de control) ,para adaptarlas y no cortar los resortes, Te Adradesco te hayas tomado la molestia de contestarme,mil gracias,Dios te Bendiga,( Hojala y seas creyente)
No problema. Siempre estoy feliz de ayudar donde puedo. Con los brazos de control inferiores B150 no necesitará modificar los resortes. Las únicas modificaciones requeridas son agregar los orificios de montaje para la varilla del puntal, cortar los topes de dirección y recortar los topes de tope. Puedes usar un amortiguador de fábrica. El brazo de control inferior b150 no cambia la geometría de la suspensión, solo mueve el bolsillo del resorte hacia abajo 2 pulgadas. Avísame si tienes más preguntas.
@@twiztedwrenchgarage Nuevamente, muchísimas gracias,mi única duda era de qué vehículo eran las orquillas,estaba en la idea de que en modelos 70's alos 90's las orquillas eran iguales, para la parte trasera eliminaré una muelle y pasaré el diferencial por la parte de arriba de las muelles, Muchísimas gracias,la verdad no creí,que tomarás en cuenta mi pregunta y menos aún que me contestaras
Ahh ya veo. para su camión, solo elegiría un juego de 1981-1985. Lo siento, no traduje bien tu pregunta. Espero eso ayude. Continúe con las preguntas si necesita. Estoy feliz de ayudar.
hi, i'm lowering my 83 d150 using the a100 a arms. can anyone suggest shocks that will work with this?
If your using B100 LCA stock shocks will work fine.
I have a 84 and my dash is cracked all up
Thats a first for me only ones ive seen damaged were in the 70s models
Isn’t a B350 LCA we need?
Any of them would work from my knowledge all the vans have the same LCA.
@@twiztedwrenchgarage okay thanks, someone had said that on a forum. Which is why you get as many sources as you can.
How did you clear coat your red truck ?
i havent clear caoted it i have only cleaned and buffed what was already there. I will be giving my Black 81 the same treatment in an upcoming video.
@@twiztedwrenchgarage it looks great! I have a red truck as well with the fading,I was hoping to use a patina clear coat
@rhysbryant7451 I have heard good things about VGG clear coat product and hope to try it out one of these days.
What size American racing wheels are on the back?
They are 15x9 factory wheels
@@twiztedwrenchgarage the wide reads that were on before u lowered the back?
@danielstockwell4095 ahh my bad those were 15x10s
@@twiztedwrenchgarage thank u very much
