5 Lug mid travel????

Springs still in box

 

Are you going to get those coilover?
Putting the upper arm on alone will actually lower it

 

yeah i am, the order is processing still. im pretty excited, once these are on i can finally get my wheel aligned. ill post pics once i start the build process.

 

Take measurements before n after

How much you want for the coils?
Where are you located?

 

im in AZ, Peoria. its right next to glendale. im looking for at least 2 inches, im sure i can achieve that maybe even more. The coils i got will lift 3". and im pondering the use of a dual spring setup.

 

the only thing im not excited for is the negative rake when i lift the front. i finally got it level when i got the spindles

 

I have the old Fabtech coils n they were a bi0tch to get on n when I got them on they bowed n rubbed on the upper coil arm/ball joint. Ride was pretty stiff. I wonder how those are.
What size co are you getting? I you're not gaining a whole lot more travel with stock lower arms to really need dual rate springs. But yet I havent tried it

 

the coilovers call for a 10" coil 2.5 ID. im debating the #600 or #650 coil any suggestions on the weight? i guess i should be on the lookout for some LCAs

 

Idk much about spring rates. Most shock company's have technical support to help you out with that. They ask how much the truck weighs, travel, if you wanna dampen droop or bump, etc

 

Its all good, ill call ridetech tomorrow. Im still trying to get in touch with the guy that was selling the downey/ fabtech kit to reply. Ive bought it all except the shocks but he never replied so i pieced it together. Now id just rather have his lowers if theyll give me additional travel

 

Yea he messaged me that he was in my area last Fri but I was busy at work n couldn't couldn't find time.
On my last 5 lug I cut the bump stops off the frame n it gave me more lift n travel. Looked like a 6 lug prerunner. But then you'll have to put limit straps n a new bump stop

 

how much more travel do you think?? ive got no prob putting limit straps and the new uppers came with new bump stops

 

if you could help a brotha out and buy em from him and ship em to me ill pass some cash your way.

 

I cut the bump stop mounts off too. You'd have fab new ones

 

If I get them I'm not letting them go lol

 

all i want if the lowers.

how much did you cut from the lowers?? do you have any pics?

 

I want the lowers as well.
Sorry don't have pics of how I cut them off. Pretty much take the spring off, put the upper, lower, n spindle together, n cycle it up n down. I saw that if I cut the bump stops off completely I can push the arms down more giving me more lift

 

now were talking about the bumps for the Uppers right?

 

im looking at my suspension and i can definitely see how you can squeeze maybe an inch more if you adjusted em

 

Yes the ones for the uppers and there was something above the lower arm I removed
