Rc silverado front lift and skyjacker rear lift coils

[Tozan]

Couldn't find it on their sight and they haven't answered my email yet

I found this on Rough country's site for that lift kit. Also if you go down farther you will see what wheels will work depending on tire and rim sizes too.

Notes - Important

• Requires cutting and grinding
• If using factory wheels, a 0.25in wheel spacer is required. #1065
• Does NOT work with aftermarket control arms
• Does NOT fit GMC Denali models with Magnetic Ride Control.
• New lift block replaces the factory equipped block.
• If truck is equipped with a mass damper on the front differential, the damper must be removed.

Overall I'm impressed with the quality of the springs so far. Powdercoating is solid and spring rate seems a bit stiffer than what I had but appropriate and not uncomfortable. I'll drive then and update with ride height measurements.

 

[87carl]

How well did they fit? And curious to see the measurements you get. Mine should be here I think Wednesday

 

[Parabellum]

Fit is great. Measurement is not accurate as im using these in combination with a spacer. I might purchase the 5 inch coil to test without the spacer.

How big of spacers do you have? And did you have spacers in before putting the springs in. Let me know if you do try the 5 inch spring

What is the free length of the springs? A friend gave me a set of springs from a chevy lift kit and they are about 20.75 inches tall. I wonder if they will give me the lift I am after without using any spacers.

The rear springs wheel bearings and outer tie rods came in today so that means I finally have almost all my parts. I only need wheel bearing bolts which will be here tomorrow excited to finally tear it apart and swap everything. theres a big pile of suburban parts in the dining room lol and couple nights ago while I was getting beams to jack my house off it's foundation a dodge ram found its way to my driveway I couldn't resist I love 3d gen dodges and it was cheap. I gotta replace a ball joint and a tie rod in it tomorrow but that gives me something to drive while the suburban is in pieces and it makes my old dodge a parts truck so I can steal it's motor for my dart because I need more projects and things to do lol I will measure old and new springs and struts and measure wheel well hight before and after see how much actual lift I get. And I gotta put back together and do breaks on one of my extra cars so I can sell it to get new tires for the suburban and new dodge

 

[87carl]

Kinda layed stuff out and loosely mocked them up to see what everything looks like and how things fit together. control arms and tie rods are olive drab green not yellowish tan lol it looks kinda nice with all the black parts surprised how heavy some of these parts are. Also I have new brake pads calipers and rotors to put on all the way around went with 1.5 front and 2 inch rear spacers gotta trim front wheel studs slightly mostly just the tip and maybe 1 or 2 threads. Can't wait to see how the suburban looks with this stuff on it and most importantly how it handles.
