Affordable go fast suspension

So when I bought my truck it can with a 3" spacer lift and 265 75 R16 tires, I have noticed that the suspension is not up to the terrain around here. For the most part we have gravel pits/quarry's and that mean lots of fast driving on rough terrain. I'd like to start with the rear and completely rebuild the suspension but it's my daily and I'm on a pretty tight budget being in high school. So basically I need to know what lead pack, rear shocks, and front coilovers should I look at?

 

What's your price range?

 

Probably around 800 per end, but I could save more depending on what would work best

 

How fast is "go fast"?

 

As fast as I can lol, probably 30-70 depending on terrain

You won't regret getting this. I just got done putting this in my truck and it's the smoothest ride but I can also adjust the reservoirs for off roading. I had a RC lift in it before and it rode like complete shit. I highly recommend this

 

That looks like a pretty good kit but I don't think I want an aal, any idea on what full spring kits I should look at?

 

How long have you been running it? Does it handle potholes well? I can't seem to find any reviews of this setup yet, I'm tempted to pull the trigger on it, but king front coilovers are the same price but without the adjustability.

 

I have Alcans, mine were like 750$. They can custom depending on the weight you carry a lot.

Or there's deaver or others I can't remember right off my head.

Maybe look into Chevy 63's and see if they fit your needs.

 

Stock = grandpa slow


MT= comfortable faster


LT = SUPA FAST WOAAAHH AAAHHHHH

 

I've been thinking about 63's as I can weld at home and enjoy using junkyard parts, would there be any real advantage going spring under axle?

 

I have Dakars on my 03 and aside from the occasional creekyness they have been a pleasure to drive with

 

And that's where my very very limited knowledge ends.

Someone that's more knowledgeable will chime in.

Ask around in here ^ super useful info.

 

I put them on this morning and I've been driving my truck all day. As far as the first day, it's crazy how smooth it is and once you crank up the adjuster it'll get stiffer and you'll be able to tell the significance. I have the 600lb coils because I am doing a 4x4 conversion and I plan on adding a bumper. Once that extra weight is added I'm sure it'll ride like a Cadillac. You won't regret it. My girlfriend was able to tell the difference and she usually doesn't pay attention to the stuff I do to my truck.

 

How much weight do you carry? I always have a fully loaded tool box in mine

 

Just get these as your front set up

 

I've seen 63's on 2nd gens but not on a 1st gen. They're a great route to go if you have the fab skills to install them.
Look up "ruff stuff 63 swap kit" and see if there's specs for a 1st gen

SUA yields much more uptravel which helps with the go fast stuff over SOA.

 

OP. In original post you mentioned "rough terrain".... meaning small mild terrain but rough? Or like biggish whoop holes? Or rocks everywhere??

With a budget of 1600 f/r your going to be super limited and probably should buy all your parts used if you want something half descent.

LT is definitely out of your budget.

Have you tried airing down the tires when cruising through the terrain?

Lots of the bumpy washboard stuff can be eliminated with just airing down

 

Generally lose rock/ gravel and ruts. Also I have no way to air my tires back up when returning to pavement
