5 lug front coils

Is there anywhere I could get springs for my 5 lugs front struts that would keep the same or similar ride height but make it way stiffer? This would be in conjunction with a 3/4 drop and new shocks for a (almost) race taco.

 

I'm confused... 3/4 drop.... same ride height?

 

Let me rephrase, same ride height after the drop with the different control arms. Basically just changing springs that won't lower it more than like an additional inch or max. Hopefully that makes sense I'm not exactly an expert haha

 

I second this. I'm on Feal coilovers on my DJM drop arms and they're fantastic.

 

Can I get coilovers like these that would keep the struts at the same height? I don't want it lower than 3" because I don't want to change it too much.

 

The coilovers would replace your struts, but yes you can adjust them to not drop the truck more.

Perfect. I think Thats the route I'll probably go. What do you have for the rear? I was thinking shocks and a hellwig sway bar or something.

 

Truck is currently sitting on a 5 inch block and 4x4 leaf pack with the DJM c-notch, lower shock mount relocation and shorter Gabriel shocks. (P/O to me did this)

 

Do the 4x4 springs with the taller blocks and shorter shocks make it stiffer ?

 

The 4x4 leaf pack makes it stiffer, the shocks are standard charge I believe so they handle like your factory shocks do. The fact of the matter is I'm too low with too small of a c-notch so I do hit the bump stops pretty frequently which makes for a rough ride. I've only got an inch and a half or two inches of travel in the rear before I hit them. These 2wd trucks do benefit from a stiffer leaf pack though I've found.

 

From what I've read the 4x4 leafs drop it 2", so that and a 2" block should have me at 4" total drop out back and make it stiffer, yeah? Performance is my goal so I don't want it too too low; as sexy as it would be.

 

Roughly 2 inches. A couple factors come into play with that measurement, like how worn out your current leaf pack is, are the leaf packs you're putting in new or used, stuff like that. So with an 11 year old truck, and possibly the original leaf pack, I'd say you'd only see maybe 1-1.5 inches out of the 4x4 leaf pack. It's also worth noting that DJM sends you a c-notch kit at 4 inches of drop, so you may need to c-notch your frame with four inches.

 

26k miles on it and it doesn't carry heavy stuff pretty much ever. Could I do the djm rear kit and just get different blocks with the 4x4 springs? Also are the sizes for the shackle and stuff different on the two springs meaning I'd have to get more hardware?
