    Coil Over Conversion Installed

    Dont worry, ill have a thread on the whole thing once I get it done. Want to give a huge thank you to Atomic for bringing this conversion to us and Tahoewhat for being the guinea pig and taking the plunge on this mod. I had been actually thinking about selling the rig bc the ride was so bad, but...

    Coil Over Conversion Installed

    after talking with a 40yr+ master welder from work, i ended up buying new oem lca's and atomic's bombproof brackets, and yes i am just going for it on the top mount went with 1200lb springs, and after reading the latest review, im second guessing myself AGAIN. i got about $1400 in the whole...

    Coil Over Conversion Installed

    this is the answer i was looking for. thanks mike, that makes alot of sense now that you put it that way. i never considered the lateral force acting on the mounts, thats why i couldnt understand it nice picture too, that gives me a pretty good idea of what im shooting for here. im determined...

    Coil Over Conversion Installed

    Ok once again, im looking at the procomp adapters for the upper and they are no bigger than the shock tabs on my djm arms. So why would the lowers need to be 1/2" steel if the uppers arent that big? Maybe im missing something but they both support the same weight right? Im just trying to...

    Coil Over Conversion Installed

    Really just trying to avoid dismantling the whole front end again if I can help it. Even if I had to weld on the djm's it would be easier than replacing the arms

    Coil Over Conversion Installed

    Ridetech is a very reputable company and alot of people swear by their products... I cant see them using a factory mount that is known to be a weak point. Now, I know things can wear out and break over time, but im thinking they have done plenty of r&d on this mount if they attach their airbag...

    Coil Over Conversion Installed

    Makes perfect sense, and thats a great description of my driving style too Ive been really studying the mounts and doing alot of online browsing and given the fact that ridetech uses the factory upper with their shockwave airbag system, im thinking it is worth a try. Also seems that if shit...

    Coil Over Conversion Installed

    I would love to be the guinea pig for not reinforcing the shock mounts, but im nervous bc I dd this thing pretty hard and haul my family too. Dont really want a catastrophic failure so ill probably just end up going the tried and true route. No sense in forking out the money to go coilovers and...

    Coil Over Conversion Installed

    well fuck. Thought I had it all figured out I thought about it, but have read that it would require beefier shock mounts and wouldnt really help things back there... but idk why not, coilovers seem like the best overall ride there is

    Coil Over Conversion Installed

    i got under there tonight and gave it a real good look and the djm lower mount is really pretty beefy from what i can tell. i really think it would hold up just fine as is. i also read through the whole thread on PT.net and that guy used his stock upper mount for 10k then sold the truck and the...

    Im dead level, 32" all the way around. Rear is free travel mod / Panhard bar/ lca & uca / qa1 rs702 shocks / and beltech 5305 springs So with those rs702 shocks, you have to convert the stud top to the eye right? With your 5305 springs, do you run shock extenders too? another question...

    GREAT WRITE UP!!! Just wanna say thank you for all your attention to detail. I got your pm and you definitely did not disappoint. Ive been debating just bolting the pro comp adapter straight into the top myself, bc from what I can see that place seems pretty stout. Atomic's brackets are just...

    Any interest in 4wd front coilovers to replace tbars?

    Any interest in 4wd front coilovers to replace tbars?

    ive been thinking about this all day, and im pretty sure im gonna take the plunge once the weather warms up a bit. i went and measured tonight and my hub to fender measurement is 17 3/8, and ground to fender is 32 3/4 pass side and 33 1/8 drivers... but my rear is defintely a good 1/2-3/4...

    Any interest in 4wd front coilovers to replace tbars?

    I just think its funny when guys lift their truck to fit 33's and im like yea im slammed down on 33's LoL Guy at work argued with me when I made a comment about having more ground clearance than him (same rig)... my bumper might be closer, but my diff is def higher =]

    Any interest in 4wd front coilovers to replace tbars?

    I'd have to remeasure but im on 305/35/24 and everything rubs... not looking to go any lower I thought the same thing... until I read this below Well, this hadn't occured to me, so now I think it might be totally feasible

    Any interest in 4wd front coilovers to replace tbars?

    Yea but whats your ride height, are you as low in the front as we are? I really want this to happen, but I just dont think 1" of up travel is enough to keep from bottoming out on every bump in the road
