South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Not sure but I'd guess 600ish? Plate bumpers, winch, sliders, skids, and a leer cap

 

You do realize that adding all that weight running a more aggressive shock and stiffer springs your ride is going to be far from stock. You also live in SC my ride sucks down there as well.

With your 886s what notch on the 5100s do you have them set at?

 

Wouldn’t be bad. If it doesn’t do well you could always swap to 14” springs.

 

To be fair, I had most of this stuff on the truck before moving here. I'm running OME 90000 up front. I've thought about pulling the front bumper to lose some weight but damn it's nice to have, especially with a winch. And the skids are overkill (1/4" steel) but I dont think aluminum would work for direct hits.

 

Aluminum would work and less weight . What size springs are you running . I'd assume the 886s

 

Correct, 886.

 

Ok . I'm coming in to this conversation late but what's going on with the truck

 

You can swap to an aluminum front bumper and sell your current one. That would drop a significant amount of weight. Also just realizing that they will eventually need to be replaced dropping down from 1/4" steel skids to 3/16 would help if you don't want to go aluminum. But even at that you are going to be playing a balancing act with spring rates, shocks, and spring heights. A tuned King, Fox, ADS, etc will be leaps and bounds over the Nitrochargers especially getting the correct spring rate and height in there. In the end it will all still be compromises and you'll have to live with a litte firmer ride that's the price to pay for a modified truck.

 

Rough ride, lots of weight, OME nitrochargers and stiff springs is essentially what the complaint is.

 

Gotcha . Shit I'm running the 5100s maxed out with stock springs . Mine rides like a caddy hahah

 

You also are on a DB that puts all your suspension angles in a better position rather than angled way down. Hell I think my truck rides pretty good too but I also see a truck as a truck and not a car or mom van and expect a harsher ride.

 

It's not too terrible, our roads are just in shitty condition. I've debated an upgrade when it's time to replace the OME stuff

 

true

 

Late to the party, but I keep hearing that the nitrochargers with 886's supposedly ride smooth if you have weight up front. I have a set in the garage, but haven't put them on yet. Probably going to just sell them and get some Kings instead.

My Eibach's ride like a caddy.

 

One thing that I will say about ome shocks is I had to rear shots and they were shot after 20k miles

 

What front bumper are you running?

 

sooooo...part out!? I'm in the market for a different bumper....if the price is right!

 

Demello single hoop

 

Lol if I ever did, it would probably be an all or nothing thing and I'm far too lazy for all that.

 

Ouch, that's not great. I keep wondering if perhaps my shocks are just wearing way too quick, if I had to guess I'd say I have 25-30k on them?
