Getting the Ride Back

[WHITEOUT]

Hey Norcal SS, will you post that part number? I think I saw somewhere else you were saying about using a smaller bag? thx

I have the other bags, just ordered the oe trailblazer bags to see how they fit. I'm not cutting the coils, just seeing how low it'll sit with just the coils...I can always cut them later if need be. I'm gonna try this setup with the bilsteins and see how it rides, I have the belltechs in stock along with some 9000XL ranchos and plan to try a few others. I've done the ranchos on a few other lifted tahoes and they rode awesome.

with the belltech rear spring and street performance shocks rides great. the bag in my pic fits in no problem and dont even waste your time on that bag use the 6 inch extended one.

Ill see if i can have a few customers chime in also. that 72 year old customer with the set up i gave him on his black tahoe i posted loves the ride.

I may cut them, just apprehensive about cutting coils from my import days. The ranchos look burly as hell so I may go that route simply for the adjustment and overall size. I found some that are 21.5" extended just like my bilsteins...remember I have shock extensions.

if you cut the springs will sit low.

also you want a good riding spring ive been testing the gf tb spring and with its dead coils it has ive cut them and ride great.

here is a pic of it installed this same spring gave a customers tahoe a 4.75 drop off the batt. thing is with 7 dead coils you can trim WITH NO change in ride just height.

I wish someone made a progressive coil that wasn't too tall in free height but had a fairly high springrate, I think these belltechs are the ticket if I can get them tuned in and trim them to fit...I'm doing some taller tires with the tbss 22s so I have some room to play around. Honestly if these sit the same height as the coils currently in the truck I'll be stoked since it will ride infinitely better with the helper bag acting as the bumpstop. Adjustable control arms will be next I'm thinking, the spohn panhard made a good bit of difference and the wheel being offcentered irritates me sometimes. Once it rides smooth I'll be able to focus on the trans swap and finish the nitrous install so I can get this big bastard off the line and into the low 13s

max do yourself a favor get that ground force spring i posted there thats why i sold everything else and im stickign to that one. progressive and so many springs that are dead you can trim like I did with no change on ride as long as you cut the dead coils.

i got many tahoes in the low 13s on a 50 shot
intake
long tubes
4.10 gears
yank ptb3600 stall
50 shot
mt 275 40 17 drag rads

low 13s easy

These little guys?



Those 60748 work inside? I'm gonna be on the 12th set of coils on this goddamn thing soon. Takes a bit more to run quick up here at 5280' unless you have boost so 100 or 150 shot should do the trick once I throw an 80e with a stall in this *****.

 

[NORCAL SS]

i dont use the 60748 at all

I'm gonna tow and my shit is fat compared to your tb though. How many coils did you trim and what fender height?
