Premium Shocks?

[Rocket Man]

Ok, I did what you said. it did drop a little. Thank you. I think it may be about 1 -1 1 1/2" inches lower than before. I can feel the difference when cornering. I'd like it to sit lower, but that's what I got for now. I'm at about 36 1/4" fender height in back and 35' in front. about a 1/4" lower on the passenger side. Once I wear out these tires, which will be awhile, I'm going to do a full drop and go to 22's. Perhaps it will settle a little over time?

It should settle a little. If you pull an air line and let all the pressure out then reconnect it and start the truck, how much does it raise it? If it’s more than 1/2” you can shorten the rods more and get it lower.

By the way, RocketMan, love your build, it's inspiring and I have learned a bit from it.

Thank you sir.

I pulled the air line and it didn't make a difference...? To be honest, I'm not sure if they even work.
If I shorten the rods again, I need to buy some new ones, I think. Are they readily available?

I ended up using a 1/4" bolt and ground the head off so I'd have threads on both sides. I could have bought threaded rod, but I'd have to cut them anyway.

 

[Franzsolo]

Nevermind, they are everywhere...

what about the Suncore passive rear air ride replacement shocks...?

Do you hear the compressor come on? It should run for a couple minutes if the truck has sat overnight or so. It’s right near the driver side rear wheel. After the truck sat overnight, start it up and immediately walk to the driver side rear and listen for the compressor to start up and watch to see if the rear lifts up a little bit and then the compressor should turn off.

Never heard of them, probably junk. Arnott makes a decent passive solution.

Yeah, it does come on sometimes after start up. I need to get out and watch.

I can't help but think some lower shock mount extenders, like the Bell Tech kit has may help?
