Getting the Ride Back

So how much drop are the new beltech TBSS suppose to give w/o cutting. No helper bags. Im on the 5305's and wouldnt mind going lower and ride is fine on mine now.

another inch

I'll know tomorrow but the current tb coils are about an inch lower than my 5305s after they settled.

your belltech tb springs vs. my djm tb springs. i'll grab some measurements.

Cute little baby helper bags ftw! I may come in early and get everything dialed up tomorrow morning but it depends on how busy we get.

Installed everything and roto/rebal'd the tires and damn this thing rides nice with 5psi in the bags. I'm the same height and the ride is back, I'm going to get it washed and then I'll try to throw some pics up but the drive home was the smoothest it has been since my 5305 coils with helper bags.

todl you.

I've been driving around places that my truck struggled with before and it rides so much better with the new setup, the truck exhibits far less sway with the helper bags installed and feels solid on the highway at higher speeds. Was a bit dark already but I managed to get a few pics, front is at 30.5" and rear is dead on at 31" with the helper bags just north of 5psi. I hope they settle a bit so I can run more pressure in the bags but the little guys give me far less lift than the old ones did due to the smaller size.

For anyone contemplating a rear spring setup the belltech trailblazer coils + airlift helper bags are the way to go. I'm so happy this thing finally rides smooth over big ass potholes and dips, was just ripping the shit out of it and she takes corners amazingly well now, full throttle opposite lock around corners is so damn fun in this thing

Old tb coil vs new tb coil + helper bag

max i knew the result would be the same as ive said

also cut 1 loop flatin the coil and put the untouched side on the axle. Truck will come down about 1/2 to 3/4 inch.

glad you like the ride.

Click to expand...

the djm spring is a wider spring with less coils vs the belltechs.

So the new designed TBSS beltech coils are alot better than the older ones. Without the bags aired up, how low would it be and do you think the ride would suffer without those? Max, how would you compare them to the 5305's? Id like the rear lower, just wondering about the diff.

Bub-- looking forward to seeing some pics or measurements of your djm springs.
