Nice mod. I'm looking forward to seeing the new stance.
Coilover Kit Installed
- Thread starter Fade 2 Black
- Start date
You know just when I think I am getting close to a final suspension setup.
( Thanks Scott )
You bring up a great idea fade 2 black.:bowdown:
I have stock control arms and drop spindles. This is a great improvement over the stock springs and shocks I have on it now.
Fade, what is the length of the shocks and springs?
I would like to go a bit stiffer to start out with.
Luis is a great guy to deal with.
Thanks for another way to improve my truck:bowdown:

I am going to order this set-up but want a stiffer spring combo. I have unlimited adjustability in the rear and this completes the set-up IMO. Great work Bob... any pics on ride height yet?
Looks awesome Bob!!
Thanks guys. I didn't get any pics today, I spent the day under the hood taking care of a minor coolant leak. I'll snap some pics when I get home from work tomorrow if it isn't dark already.
Fade,
What amount of drop do the LCA's give normally?
I am wondering if the stock LCA's will need longer shocks to work out.
I guess if you wanted to lower it a bit compared to stock those may be just the right height.
You seem to be sitting in the center of the shock body with the spring adjuster.
Is that where you ended up with the setting?

As soon as I finally decided on what I was going to use to drop the front half you go and throw this out there...damn you! lol
Very nice work as always Bob! Overall how much of a drop could you get with this setup?

He has the same LCA's as i do. The DJM units are an advertised 2" drop but i got about 2 1/2- 3" out of it.... pulling the spring rubbers and i would be as low as ACSVT and we all know how low that truck is. It lowers the truck by droping the spring pocket so no you would not need longer shocks, the stock shocks are what you would use with these control arms.
Correct, the shock tower height doesn't change, these shocks have plenty of travel for our use and the same travel in fact as the RC1540P's that I just took out. The lengths of the shock both compressed and extended is what I used to figure out which kit to get.
IDK how it will play out with stock LCA's but I could drop mine down low enough in the front to sit on the tires if I wanted. :coolman:

Stock with drop spindles
That's great! It'll be good to see yours for comparison.
I drove mine to work and back today and they performed flawlessly. :rockon:

Bob, any plans for coilovers all around? :rolling:
If the KP 4 link kit is lighter than the glass leafs and Strange shocks I have now then yes I will, otherwise the back is DONE. :-D
