what shocks with Deavers J66

Well this was on a chase truck before It went SUA, so it held weight daily

 

Shackle flip kit and some longer shackles plus the Seaver pack will get you at the stance you want. You just have to figure out what size shackles you want to run

 

j66 in rear and allied 4in lift spindles


i did add a 1in block for temps to level and now i have an all pro pack sits perfect now

as for rear shocks i just have the icon rr 2.0s

 

I'm assuming longer shackles keep the ride quality the same as without but just lift that much more right? If so... Isn't that blocks do? Sorry for the newb questions, I'm trying to learn and figure this stuff out lol....

 

That's what I figured it would look like! Still looks mean though!

 

No offense to the truck or owner, but I don't like that look... I want the truck to sit raised in the rear, level at most..

 

Thats odd that yours sat so unlevel and my girlfriends is damn near perfect

 

You got it. But since you have a second gen you're going to need a shackle flip kit to reverse your shackle. Ride won't be affected with a longer shackle. You will probably end up with take off and braking shudders if you go with a lift block.

 

Ok so looks like I'll use the deavers, shackle flip kit and longer shackles then measure and pick some shocks and why do you get shudders with blocks? Oh and what's the purpose of the u bolt flip kits?

 

Blocks cause horrible axle wrap since the increased distance between the axle and the spring causes more leverage.

A u-bolt flip kit does exactly what it says. It flips the u-bolts so that the nut and the threaded end are pointed up and out of harms way

 

Is that the only benifit of it?

 

Any links to the shackle lift kit? On the 2nd gen there swinging pointed up so I don't see how you can do shackles for more then .1/2" of lift... Am I missing something? I have the j66 pack already and need another inch or two of lift. Any info would be awesome on some suggestions

 

PLC721's buddy may also have used the deavers in a spring under axle configuration while cummins6speeds girlfriend uses them in spring over axle configuration? I know I converted mine to spring under axle and it sits at stock height with icon AAL and bilstein 5100 shocks rear and bilstein front shocks with wheelers T1 coil and tundra racing lowering shock collars. Also rides like a dream and handles corners like they're nothing
