nick overall the new tb designed coils ride better than the djms you had in there before. Just want to make sure your happy with the new coils.

yes sir..i dont get the bouncing like i did before...well see how it does on my trip to colorado tonight, but should be just fine..only thing i noticed is the helper bags are weird..i can fill them in like 2 seconds, and i barely let any air out and it seems to drop 10-20 psi...but i dont bottom out so all is well

If I can get 31.25 overall with 275/65/20, I will be happy with that.

I installed the BT TB coils hoping for 31" on a 275/45/20 and it didn't happen. I'm stuck at 32" even, maybe 31 7/8". If your shocks make the difference that will be great news.

did you mean 275/45 not 275/65? thats a 34" tire lol..my tire, 265/75 which is 31.64 diameter im at 31 7/8...a 275/45 is 29.74 diameter..thats almost an inch difference in the radius, so you should be sitting at like 31 1/8 with these coils and shocks

Made it to colorado..cruising 80 with the truck fully loaded didnt bottom out once and rode great..weighed in at 7400 lbs with 5 people and full of bags and shit lol..16 mpg cruising 80..not bad

34 INCHES vs 32 is 2 inches so will lower 1 inch at fenderlip. ie a 10 inch taller tire will only lift up 5 inches at the fenderlip.

Yeah, I think the issue is my shocks. I really believe they are just too long.
