Handling 101

[NORCAL SS]

Honestly with the autoride the 5301 and 5305 springs ive been very happy with.

What's the difference tween the 5301 and 5305?

I think autoride and 2 inch springs is the ideal set up.

The high back end looks soooooo ****.

Adjust the links for a .25 inch rake and perfection.

If I was Serge and picky like him I would leave the the front alone for starters.

The 5301 coils are a 1.5 drop rear on a autoride truck. the links you will need to do which I can help you out on. very easy

the 5305 is the ones you need shock extenders for they are adjustable from 2-3.75 on autoride.

This is exactly what I want, a simple 1.5" rear drop that will level the truck, that will trick the autoride/MRC, and won't light up my dash.

Im actaully redoing a truck this weekend that a shop messed it up completly. The autoride links are stripped and the shop just took them out. If you want some pictures or videos just hit me up I can show you how to make the links and get it all ready so if you decide to put springs in will be a easy trouble free swap.

Well, I'm not much of a doityourselfer.

But if I decide to buy the springs from you can I also purchase a set of modified links from you at that time?

Will I still need shock extenders, DJM links, panhard, for such a small drop?

Do you know what they did to cause the links to strip.

I have the Hotchkis front and rear sways. I installed them a few years ago before I did Tony's 2-3/4 drop. Blazed explained it best. You might notice a rougher ride over bumps, etc but my suburban cornered on rails. Since the drop... it's insane how well this thing handles corners at high speed and this is coming from a guy that has a track prepped E46 M3.

Regarding the shorter rear end links... I have them but have never installed them. The Hotchkis rear bar has a slightly different design and thus comes with slightly shorter links with the kit. They are not as short as the links I got from Tony but I had some trouble getting the shorter links from Tony installed due to the design/angle of the bar ends. You'll see what I mean when you get it. Once the weather warms up here, I'm going to give the shorter sway bar end links a try and see if I can take my time and get them installed.
