Since you guys are talking lifts, would billies set at 0 with 884x be a better ride than stock and give around 2 inches of lift? Not looking for much more than 2" up front AAL 1.5" in back. Or... Would billies at 1.75 w stock coils be an upgrade in ride as well. I keep reading set at 2.5 is a rough ride.

 

From what I've read. 1.75 is about a stock ride. The billies with 884s set at 0" should give you around 2".

 

I'd be cool with that if he is

 

Thats cool with me. I just don't know how to separate them. also I have the 1/4" top plate spacer for the drivers side if one of you would like it.

 

You suck. Just buy a new truck. You ain't done shit to your truck yet to not be able to swap it out

Dude you couldn't convince her to let you buy a cb. Lol

Aight lets just forget about the list, start over, and just let me have them .....

 

Already have one... so he can have it

 

Alright cool. Anybody have a spring compressor that would be willing to help me separate these?

 

No

 

Aight just some food for thought. Towards Adam too ......... Any lift using stock length components will give you a less quality ride. Lets just say you have 6" of suspension travel in the front, 3" up and 3" down. When you hit a bump your shock has 3" each way to soak up that bump. When you lift it 3", now you are riding around in the very top of your shock stroke and you only have 1" of down travel and 5" of up travel (these are just made up numbers, I don't know this exactly) so when you hit that same bump it will be fine on the way down but when the truck comes up it's gonna bottom out the shock making for a rough ride. Of course this info varies with different shocks and valving but for a stock like setup, this is the truth.

 

Go rent one for free from any car parts place like AutoZone. Pay up front and get a full refund when you bring it back

 

So basically don't do it unless I have the whole setup?

What is the max I can do the 885s at With the 5100's

 

I've heard they shouldn't be changed from the standard location

 

I have bills with 885s. You should not change the bill height at all. Also that setup rides smoother than gids ass cheeks.

 

The coils themselves provide life. Not because they are longer but because they are stiffer. If I'm not mistaken, the 5100s are what sets the lift. So stock springs with adjustable 5100s set at no lift, good. Stock shocks with springs that provide 2" of lift, not good. That equals blown shocks

 

Well shit. Well I guess if Levi wants the whole setup sell it to him. He already has the UCAs and all to go with them anyways. And I'll just have to figure out another way to do this.

 

I'm just glad you remember what my butt feels like

 

Yeah, I wasn't meaning stock shocks w 884s, but 5100s set at 0. I just know that another way to do it would be 5100s at 1.75 w stock coils. I was just not sure that would be a good/ better ride.

Probably not going to happen soon anyway, just thinking. I have a few other things that I want to purchase first. Thanks for the info.

 

No! You want these springs. Levi doesn't. They aren't heavy enough for his truck. This whole assembly is actually perfect for you unless you do spindles

 

Yes sir. And using the stock springs with better shocks will never ride better then new springs as well. Stock springs just aren't the best components

 

I can sell the spindles and get all of my money back. I can't run this setup without doing UCAs right? And everything I read said you can't turn the 5100's up without damaging other components. I want more than 3". Unless my truck is broken which I don't think it is. The 3" I have now looks weak.
