Just some suspension help

I wanted to lift my truck, so I bought new coil overs, and new shocks for the back, and I put a 2 inch block in the back and I adjusted my coil overs in the front to level it, but It rides horrible. I feel every pot hole, it hits really hard. Any suggestions? I just got the steering bushing replaced.

 

Need more info... What kind of coilovers? Running the stock UCA? Any spacers up front? How much lift do you have the coiovers set for? Also, what tire pressure are u running?

 

They are coil overs from fat bobs garage. I don't have a spacer because I have the adjustable coil overs, and I have a differential lowering kit also, not sure what the uca is

 

What coils/shocks did you purchase?
I suspect your front coils are maxed or close. Lose the blocks in the rear and at the very least replace them with an aal and set your coils back to a comfortable setting.
This is a good start.

 

My coils aren't even half way maxed out

 

My coils are cranked up two more turns, but still only half way cranked

 

And I want the blocks for clearance when I put 33 12.50s on

 

Put on a 2in AAL instead of the blocks.

As for the front even though its only cranked up 1/2 way. It's prob at its max for the spring since its sitting leveled with the back. I'm guessing 3in lift in the front. More weight in the front may help. like a heavy bumper.

 

pic of your CV angles please

 

I also have a steel bumper on

 

Cv axles are at a good angle due to the drop kit!

 

Take a pic

 

Dude, I have the same problem as you. They look like toytec coilovers? Correct me if I'm wrong. Mine are only cranked 2 more turns as well and they ride super hard. I live in tucson, and I bounce around like a fool.

 

Here's a pic of them and my cv axles

 

That doesn't look like a good cv angle to me

 

Mine are from fat bobs garage. They are almost like a bilstein 5100 shock and I don't remeber what cool they are like.

 

What should I do differently? My truck also isn't flat in this picture, the front two tires are on a side walk

 

Definitely need to lower the ride height. Can't tell in the pic but I'm pretty positive your inner boots are rubbing on the fins. You are on the fast track to CV boot failure. Lower it enough to where they are barely touching or not touching the fins. I bet it will also ride much smoother.

I had those COs a few years ago but they were Toytec. Complete pain in the ass to adjust. You'll probably need a cheater bar. Jack the wheel up, turn the wheel out of the way and use the smaller wrench to hold the lower collar in place (turn till it hits the frame or whatever.) then use the bigger wrench with cheater bar attached (jack handle works real nice for this) to adjust. You want to bring the bigger collar closer to the smaller one. I'd go down an inch of threads at a time at first then come up as needed in 0.25-0.5 inch increments. Then go get an alignment.

 

Yeah I know how to adjust them. I'll probably have to just take the block out in the back and lower back to leveling kit height.
