    coil over conversion installed

    Ok guys, took the bushings out yesterday to inspect and they seem to be holding up great! I'm also kinda liking this stuffed look, and THINKING about going to a 285/30/24 and really going low... only problem with that lies in the rear, but maybe I can just drive reeeeal slow lol Also, fender...

    coil over conversion installed

    i understand fully what you're saying here, and i will be going back to the pro comp mount probably next wknd, but i wanted to test this out as an alternative for those that wanna be really low, or use a different length shock/coil. with the pro comp adapter, i was pretty much right in the...

    coil over conversion installed

    This pic shows how the front now sits lower than the rear... this was taken at menards on a completely level parking lot, and it is as high in the front as I could possibly go The problem with this, is it preloads the coil so much that now its really bouncy up front. It would be perfect...

    coil over conversion installed

    These pics show the shock tower and how it is still in great shape after 1900 miles with no reinforcement. Also shows how much threads I have run the adjuster nuts up, which was basically as much as I could possibly turn. Idk if its actually maxed out, but my measly 240lb ass couldn't get...

    coil over conversion installed

    Got the prototype bushings installed... now I am totally maxed out on threads for as high as I can go, and my ride height actually might be a bit lower than it was. I think these will be a good solution for those looking to go lower Took a couple pics of my shock towers and they are in just as...

    coil over conversion installed

    Unfortunately, no. Got woke up yesterday at 4am to a call that my wife's 96yr old grandpa had a heart attack and was in intensive care. Spent the whole day in the hospital between my mom and him. Had a couple hrs while my daughter took a nap but our car needed plugs and coils bad, been having...

    coil over conversion installed

    ridetech makes a good adjustable coilover shock, and they were pretty close in price, IIRC UPDATE i took yet one more click out of both the front and rear tonight when i got home... ill probably ride like this through the wknd and see how she does

    coil over conversion installed

    This may meed to be my next move. I think the firmness is tolerable, but the sway is not. I really didnt think new bars would be a big difference, but maybe they will... did that rear sway bar come with bushings?

    Coil Over Conversion Installed

    You had mentioned getting some turning radius back from the spindles so i commented on my situation. Still no idea why ur same as me, unless you're resting on the bumpstop cup and dont realize it... i know that when i did the coilover swap, i hadnt trimmed the new stops yet and as i lowered the...

    coil over conversion installed

    Oh believe me, this truck is low on my priorities right now, but I dont want to just set it aside bc I know others wanna hear about how it works. I think ill be able to put them on in about an hr, which should be no problem tomorrow morning. Her thing isnt til 10am, so I should have no problem...

    coil over conversion installed

    I got bags, and usually ride with about 10lbs in them. Im not giving up just yet, but im just trying to be realistic with how things are feeling for me I tweaked the rear 3 clicks softer tonight and it seemed to be alot better, but the cracks on my street still bug me... I remember the reason I...

    coil over conversion installed

    This is my first lowered ride, I've always had lifted rigs. I guess I could try some new rear springs for a couple hundred and see what happens... the biggest problem is on roads that have cracks or sections cut every couple hundred ft, its just a constant barrage... then even after I got my...

    coil over conversion installed

    The ride has been bad since I lowered it about 18 months ago. Ive been messing with it ever since to try to get it dialed in. Thats why I had given up and was gonna get a new rig. This coil over swap got my attention and I mistakenly thought it was gonna somehow get back to riding real good...

    coil over conversion installed

    Oh I still have to turn and look everytime I get out, but the problem for me is that it really takes away the fun of driving. I drove it 450 miles last wed and on friday when it was time to go pick up the car, we rented a small car to make the drive... partly bc it was cheaper on gas, but a...

    coil over conversion installed

    Everything is holding up fine, and the front end is great... im not really sold on the rear yet, and even thinking I may still go back up to stock height or lifted. Still glad I did the conversion though, bc if I do raise it up, I can just sell my lowering stuff and use longer coilovers up front
