I lowered my truck with 3 inch springs in the rear with mcgaughy srpings and belltech shocks and front with western keys (didnt measure just went for the looks) and belltech shocks and it kinda bouncy but i dont know if that is normal cause i came from busted bags and front bad shocks. So could someone give me some kind of advise on what to do next.

1) did you use extenders in rear?
2) in front when you do lowering keys ride suffers. anything more than 1 inch drop your better off with spindles and cranking up stock keys.
3) did you cut the rear bumpstops down?

No i didnt use shock extenders cause i thought that was for like 5 inch lower or so in the rear and when i put the keys on the ride stiffened alittle but i havent cut any of the bump stops yet to see if it would make a difference or not but what would the lower control arms do if i put those on.

you need shock extenders for autoride trucks. I have a brand new belltech set here for 65 shipped

if you do lower a arms you need to get ride of the autoride set up and the front arms with the correct belltech shocks are 450 shipped.

in rear i would cut the bumpstops down or make sure its not on them. IN front the 3 inch a arm are adjustable 2-3 inches and will ride a lot better this is why i mate the arms with the belltech shocks since oem shock will not work.

Ok cool im going to look in to that

No prob I sell the kit is 450 shipped snd if you look around my custom 3/5-6 kit people love the ride on this forum. After doing the nbs tahoe since late 99 I pretty much dialed in a kit that rides great.

 

[ECLIPSEJ24]

question thinking abt dropping the rear another 1 inch to match the front would you cut the springs or just by some 4 inch springs for the rear and if i go that low what would be the best size to fit under there then cause i really want some 26s again but ill deal with some 24s

yah cut them. i fit 305 35 24 on my custom 3/5-6 kit and 295 30 26 same truck

on my custom 4-5/5-6 kit 255 30 26 no problem
