did you put the djm rear hardware kit in?
I've been running the McGaughy's rear hardware kit.
LOL. I see your not on here much either. LOL. I never posted it, just a lurker lately. But had them for about 2 months or so i guess.
And yeah, i did get you confused w/ the other "Alex" lol. Your the one w/ the same setup as me. ha ha. Told you i dont get on here much anymore. Just read around and occasionally respond. lol. Sorry about that.
Now all this makes sense. So you did end up getting shorter shocks and made a difference. ( havent read whole thread yet.) Just might have to try that. B/c since i changed to 22's w/ to big of tires, 45 series, i have all kinds of metal noises now banging over bumps or just the going up the driveway. Need to check them out soon, along w/ install the extenders
I gotcha now. Alex.. lol

Dont burn out man. Stick with it. I am .5 inch lower in the rear than in the front now and keys are cranked down in the front. Messed with it so much and got the rear dialed in now.
So now I am contemplating drop keys in front a camber adjusters and waisted money on another alignment and about 2 to 3 hours of work for installing them. OR......I could get the helper bags, but those dont really lift the rear, the just prevent from bottoming out....
SO HERE IS WHAT I AM GOING TO DO...... Take my BT SP's shox out and put my Sensatrac air shocks back in. Yeah everytime I jack the truck up the springs will fall out(because they are longer). I'll just re-set them when I take the truck off the jackstands. Its not like I will be jacking up the truck everyday since I got most of the rear right where I want it. This way also I can crank the keys up in the front. Id rather have the air adjustment in the rear anyway because I tow a lot in the summer. I know my numbers will go a lil higher,but at this point, I dont care. truck is a lot lower than stock an it handles like a car. All I have left is swaybars front and rear. Just undecided if I want the Belltech's or the DJM's.
AS for your truck ALEX....its definetly your springs. I know you dont want to spend anymore money on it,but IMO get the tb 4230's. That should get you lower.

I have the alignment bushings pressed in my arms. They worked great. There's no way my front could be as low as it is and stay aligned without them.
I have the 4230s on the truck now. I don't know how many other ways to say it. I am contemplating taking them out for 5305s or the Mcgaughy's 5" drop springs because I have those sitting around the garage too.
I might mess with it on my next set of days off but we'll see how I feel.
Thanks for the support
You sound burnt bro (Alex33)!! Constantly messing with the same thing can do that to you tho. Have you thought about taking some pics of those springs -4230- and sending them to Norcal SS to verify they are the 4230 coils?? Be something to think about to ease your mind about them.
if you decide to get rid of the 4230's let me know. You know i have the 5305's right now. Where exactly are you trying to get at? Just ride, or height or? I have no problems w the 5305's. Not cut or anything.
