Leeper Coilover Review/Pics/Video

For now, I'm doing a toytec add-a-leaf in the back since I need towing ability, and Bilstein extended travel shocks in the rear (5125s I believe). I should have them installed later this week (hopefully before friday cause I need to tow!)

 

I think your right and that is what I was thinking. I need a freakin spanner wrench!!!! so I can adjust them.

Anyone in the socal area that can help me out???

 

I'm in for the night so I'll check tomorrow. What will that tell you?

 

whats funny is they seem fine everywhere else like riding around they are great, and when I hit the bump it was real cushy, until the suspension extended back out.

Will UCA's help that at all? I am think about buying the "Just Right" UCAs or TC ones...

 

Should I get extended rear brake lines? Is it worth the $65 greenbacks?

 

there should be a guide that says "X" amount of thread showing means "X" amount of lift.

Ive heard of guys using a phillips head screw driver and putting it in the holes of the collar then tapping the end with a hammer to spin it. since you'll be backing off it should not be to hard.

 

I have some but never got around to putting them on the truck. if your just doing a normal 3" lift its not mandatory...well unless your gonna run some flexy springs back there. if your just doing a AAL you dont HAVE to but its kinda like an insurance thing

 

Just measured...there is 1 3/4" of thread showing

 

Yep, not a whole lot but about 2-3 times per month.

 

lol Ive never done that but Ive heard of people doing it....mine use an actual wrench thing and doesnt have holes just grooves

 

I really didn't buy it for the lift, but more for an improved ride, so I'm gonna lower it. How much should I lower the collar?

Yes, I'm 4x4

 

LRGRNR:

Can you take, or do you have, a pic of your coilovers so I can see how much thread you have showing?

 

check your CV's, if the fins on the boots are touching, lower the shocks a bit and check again. once your good to go, hit up some dirt and get a real review of those bad boys

 

Have you got the rear leaf spring TSB done?

BTW, I work in that area (Bake/Toledo)

 

plus, the truck will ride even better w/ a littlee less preload on the coils

 

Here are the pics of the CVs that I just took . How am I? Do I need to go lower?

 

Yes, TSB is done. Great, we should meet up some time and go wheelin! HOw did you know my area?

 

If you show me yours, I'll show you mine......lol j/k

 

I'd be surprised if it could get better on the road. It is soooo freakin awesome.

 

You should consider a 1.5" TSB AAL, and then adjusting the CO until you level out. Unless you like the front high look.
