coil over conversion installed

[digitalfiend]

question were you also lowered with keys and spindles before?

Hi Tony!
There's a lot of people active on this thread so you'll need to be a little more specific whose specs you're looking for. I've not done the coilover conversion yet because I'm waiting for more buyers to get in on Atomic's group buy. In case it helps, here are my specs right now:

*) Tony's 6" rear drop springs (THEY ARE TEH AWESOME!!!)
*) rear QA1 adjustable shocks
*) 2" drop keys
*) mcgaughy's 2" lowering spindles
*) camber kit

was talking about your rig. ive done the swap from spindles/keys to djm a arms with belltech sp shocks and there is a BIG difference. Im wondering how much of a difference is from the djm 3 inch arms and belltech sp shocks to this coilover set up.

That's a good question. The mod of this thread (04blackout) was at least running the djm 3/5 kit. I know that he swapped from the djm 3" arms to stock arms just to be sure that Atomic's mounts would work properly and so he wouldn't have to strengthen the djm arms. He may have been running lowering keys too but I'm not 100% sure. I'd say either shoot him a PM or let him chime in here.

Hey man, 04blackout ditched his djm arms to go to coilover. He didn't like the ride on the djm. Don't quote me but I think after talking he decided his low profile 24's were causing rough ride....but he did switch he would be the one to talk to.

Yeah the djm arms with belltech sp shocks ive never had complaints at all but other shocks yeah people were not happy. Ill shoot him a pm thanks

So Tony, are you planning on possibly adding a front coil over conversion to your list of awesome suspension components for sale? lol

not at this time atomic has that down pat

Yeah, blackout got rid of the a-arms b/c of having to stiffen them up some how to accommodate for the strength needed for the coil overs. Also, which i may be wrong, I think he got rid of them b/c he figured out they lowered the tahoe b/c of the index of keys on the arms not b/c the arms actually lowered the truck by themselves. (again, cant remember exactly & may be in this thread)

The rough ride has not been nailed down as to the 24's, but I suspect it is highly the reason why from experience on stock suspension.

I think shawn - yukonxl, may be speaking of adding the coil overs themselves, not the brackets. Either way, if this lifts off, i think you may have to reconsider that. lol

 

[Atomic]

If he really wants to consider it I will sell you my autocad files for the brackets

ive had good results with the djm 3 inch a arms and the qa1 double adjutables in front also for a long time just people dont want to spend the $$. ATOMIC thought of this design and I would never copy someone else's ideas and undercut. I've never been like that never will be like that.
