[rigo_jones]

thanx goodluck.. it a lot of time and searching but paid off in the end...


does any1 know the size of a djm or belltech 5 inch spring with full weigh on?

McGaughy 5" coil sits at a hair under 8". I don't have a spare tire or 3rd row seat.

I need another 2 inches out of the back for the truck to sit level.

u serious? thanx bro im gonna go with a 9 inch coil then. was this with full weight on?

Yes. All I have in the back of the truck is the stock suspension parts. If you get 2" compression I would need a 8" coil. I plan on doing a c-notch anyway.

Never ridden in a bagged ride. My plan is to bag the rear of my truck. I bought all I need from a fellow tyf member but am still waiting for the parts from him. I am just going to use schrader valves, no compressor. I am hoping that the bags will smooth out the ride, especially since I want to go 2 inches lower than the 5" drop coils I have now. I'm also going to make an adjustable panhard bar to get the rear wheels centered.

Where did you measure from? My belltechs don't sit that low and I was the same height as a friend's denali with the 3/5 mcg kit with identical height tires before I pulled my isolators. I think the 9" qa1 450 springs are gonna be the ticket for a 7" drop, guess there is gonna be some trial/error involved with these things. Thank god for summit's return policy lol.

Measured driverside from bottom of upper mount to top of bottom spring mount.

I plan to do a write up when I do the install. I can't take credit for the idea, found it here just search set it and forget it.

on the pan hard go to www.suicidedoors.com. they have adjustable links at a very good price.go to the 4 link parts section. the oem bar is 33.5" so i need something that is 1" to 1.5" shorter
