Rough Country Vertex coilovers???

Real nice looking truck you got there.

 

My names Bubba.
Careful son! Tuck that thing in our your going to catch it on a tripwire!

 

Lol

 

Finally done!

 

Is that the 3.5” lift? 33” or 35” tires?

 

6 inch. However, the front is more like 4 inches. 35 inch tires. 41 inches from ground to bottom of fender in front and 43 in back.

I may just leave it as is because my CV angles are perfectly straight now

 

I adjusted my front coils to level it out some

 

I don’t hate the stance, it’s just different than what I’ve been used to for the past year and a half.

I may adjust the front up another inch but for now, I’m happy.

 

Mine are pretty stiff. KInda makes the front bounce when going over rocks, bumps pot holes. My 5100s drove better

 

Have a couple months with them
Even installed bigger bumpstops, helps but front is still kinda stiff and bouncy

 

Thanks man! So I finally got a chance to pull my sway bar last while I had it up replacing a CV axle. Man it was a PITA to figure out how to actually untangle it from the truck. But finally got it out and just took a short drive to see how it feels around the neighborhood and some city streets. Honestly I was struggling to feel any major difference in body roll or anything like that, even intentionally taking some fast corners. Did notice a generally smoother feel overall though. Interested to get on the highway and offroad. But so far so good! Appreciate the suggestion.

 

How exactly did you get the preload ring to turn. I need to add like 1/4" on my driver side front coil and tried last night while I had the truck up at full droop. Used a 5/16 punch and couldn't get it to budge. Actually bent my punch. Tried encouraging it with a little wd40 but that didn't help. Backed the lock ring off too but that didn't help either. What gives? What's your trick?

 

I'm interested in if it improves highway comfort?

 

Yeah it was pain in the azz at first . You gotta be patient with it. For sure back off the top nut . I used pb blaster for lube not sure if that will help.

 

I'll report back after I get some highway miles in.

 

Did you use a cheater bar or hit it with a hammer or anything like that?

 

Yes I used my little dead blow hammer and don't laugh but a big rubber mallet . Didn't wanna damage anything

 

Lol don't worry I'm the same way. And sorry if I'm being dense, but what exactly were you hitting with the hammer? The side of the punch? This thing is just not moving.

 

I actually was using a short Allen wrench that fit perfectly in the hole . Applied pressure to the Allen wrench and started to beat it with the dead blow

 

Ok thanks man, appreciate all the detailed info!
