looks great bob!!!

Thats preaty cool. I can tell you that yours are set a lot lower than mine. I've got mine close to the top. I had them down like yours at first and it was sitting about like it did with the trick springs. Its a little to high now. But at least thats an easy fix.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

 

[IEatGt's]

btw Bob, what do you have left on the truck that was made by Ford?? oke:

Looks good, might try this with stock lowers a woodbines uppers

I just adjusted further, raising the front up more. I'm now sitting 1/2" higher from where I started yesterday which is about where I want to be. At this point the collars are almost to the top of the adjustment range and I'd only be able to get another 1/4 to 1/2" higher up front without using a thicker spacer up top or a spring rubber to raise the spring rate. I also turned the dampning up 2 more clicks and it made a big difference, in fact I'm going to turn them back down one setting.

So far, so good.

 

[Schmuckingham]

SO what would these be able to do drop wise, rough estimate?

 

[Fade 2 Black]

With my setup I could easily slam it. I'm 2" or more ahead with the LCA's I have. I'd bet someone with stock LCA's will soon make the swap.

 

[Schmuckingham]

Bob,

Other than the few pounds it saved, what are some of the other advantages of doing this.

Adjustable height anything else?

Thanks

 

[lightning666]

this would be great for me since I was about to cut my hotchkis coils to drop mine in the front a tad more, this seems like a much better option

Bob, let's see a pic or two of the new stance! I'm interested to see how this setup will hold up for you long term, and at the track. Be sure to keep us updated with progress reports.

I'll get some pics tomorrow Scott, it's in the garage on stands right now, still yanking stuff off it. :rockon: It's sitting about level right now, the back is about 1/2 higher than the front. Running 30" race tires out back and 29" up front this will allow raising the front more to compensate and level out, thus improving wieght transfer and better short times. That's my plan anyhow. :thumbsup:

Advantages: Less wieght, quick and easy ride height/damping adjustments and if you want to go harder or softer on the springs they're only like $70/set. Ride quality is GREAT as well.

 

[lightning666]

doesnt raising and lowering it mess with the alignment, camber,caster or something like that?

 

[Fade 2 Black]

It does to an extent. Going above or below the height at which the last alignment was done doesn't seem to adversly affect anything though. I keep a close eye on my tire wear, lol.
