5 lug lift re-du

Also I was wondering if you remembered the collapsed and extended lengths of the coilovers, and also the spring dimensions. I am very interested in doing this upgrade because I have the doetcsh 6" lift and I am looking to upgrade so I'm just trying to find out as much info as I can

 

These with a 9 inch 650lb spring. They say a 10 inch will fit but i ordered and they dont

 

Damn that sucks atleast you got the right ones now.. thanks for the heads up... How do these compare to the Downey kit? Did these give you the same amount of lift?

 

Alot more lift. Maybe 1 intch less travel because of the adapter. I wont off road 2 much except for a trail i just needed to get this thing driving again. Here is a pic of before and after

 

That looks like a huge change. Are the 'After' photos before or after you adjusted the preload on the coilovers?

Also, what size tires are you running?

 

Yeaa man the truck looks alot higher in those pics but it looks good!

 

The first is from feb 2015 with the downey set up. The next is after my set up and after driving it around the block

 

31x10.50

 

Oh nice that's the same size I'm running. I need to get some fiberglass fenders tho cuz mine are all beat up now

 

Well now i have a severe lean in the rear driver side and everything is connected. I was driving and hit a pot hole noticed a clinking sound. All bolts are tight and in place but the rear is saggin like 3 inches. Ps new rear struts are on and connected

 

The steering is fine but sometimes after being parked it feels it wants to pull on different directions and evens itself out afer a bit

 

Sounds like you may have broken a leaf.

 

Ouch man that sucks! Yea i would definitely go inspect the leaf pack and look for cracks on the springs.. let us know what you find

 

Yeah i appriciate the advise. I made it yesterday to work but definitely a clinking sound on bumps driver side but all my work up front is bolted up nice. Ill get time to inspect those leafs this afternoon

 

Well this might be a problem and the right leaf is missing the middle half. A shop installed these and now they are fixing it

 

Okay yea that would definitely cause a problem.. soo your main leaf is missing the whole middle section?

 

I wish i took a pic of it but how there is three leafs the one in the middle is in half and the front is missing like it broke in half

 

Sounds like the middle leaf snapped at the center pin and half of it fell out.

That would definitely be your issue there! That's pretty much 1/3rd of the strength gone from that side of your bed.

 

Yeah but its odd that it sits higher then the other side but i guess with that bushing on the shock falling out on the left would cause the lean. The shop said the leaf that broke is pushing it higher on the right also but that makes no sense

 

Yeaa the shock bushing would cause it to lean and act weird.. but the snapped leaf shouldn't push that side up I wouldn't think either
