very nice bro. having that adjustable panhard bar is a must if ur low. IMO. just makes everything "correct" in rear suspension. keep us posted, been thinking about getting these springs for rear, n need new shocks too, n like my SP shocks in front. exactly the setup I've been thinking about getting. keep us posted on how it rides

coils rode great with 5 people and a sled behind the truck..these helper bags seem wierd though..my old ones would lift the truck up a bit when i aired them, these seem like they take barely any air and they are at 50 psi, and dont really lift the truck..and it takes like 2 seconds of letting the air out and they are at 0 psi..idk?

Nick you said you went with the belltechs because it was bouncing in the rear, well im having the same issue. My rear bounces so bad my kids feel like they are on a carnival ride until they get enough of it then start feeling sick of it. I have DJM rear 3inch drop springs, airlift bags, bilstein shocks with shock extenders and a hotchkis rear sway bar.

My concern is spending more money and having the same issue. You don't feel this bouncing anymore correct? changing out the springs resolved your issu??

This is why I told you to go with my 250 kit. You dont want the tb springs in your truck that I sold him because your rear will sit much lower than front. Ive done these trucks so many times trust me you do the rear kit I told you with the 1 inch spacer and shorter bumpstops which come wiht the kit and you will be fine. If the shocks are old this would be the time to change them out also.

You can try the kit out with the bilsteins you have now it will ride much better than the djms anyway. I sell djm springs also just the belltechs ride better

Looks good and a sport rake at that. yeah i just received all my hardware from Tony today for my 3/5 drop. I really like the Silvervien powdercoated a-arms and shock relocation kit.

I tow my minitruck to shows and already have aftermarket airshocks I installed in the rear. What I am going to do is......the bilstiens that come with Tony's kit I'll just throw on the shelf and keep the airshocks in since they measure out to 20.5''. And now after reading everyones post on the panhard bar....I guess i will order the whole panhard bar and control arms for $550 or whatever it was........
Oh and as a fellow snowmobiler.....we got screwed this year:emotions122:

Yeah your truck looks good. I just hope I get to the top of the tires on the 20's. If I can get 31.25 overall with 275/65/20, I will be happy with that.

We went up to Duluth and over by Hurley Wi and Medford area 2weeks ago. Them suckers had 10' snow drifts!
