I wanted to try the 11" with a higher spring rate but I guess those 10" would work. Do you remember having to notch for those? I called belltech and they said my current springs are 164 lb springs but he wasn't sure if that was an average or resting springrate. I really wanted to drop this thing too, looks like the 10-400 springs will only take a day to ship tho.

id notch going below 5 inches anyway. 164 lbs sounds way to soft in rear im sure its much more than that lol.


summit takes it back no quesitons asked in 90 days even used.

ID ORDEr these
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HAL-10-225-475/

and
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HAL-10-400/

then see how it works out for you. the 12 inch spring you would have to run such a low spring rate to make it sit where you want that ride would just bounce.


if 10-400 is still not enought drop to a 9 inch one then. Id much see shorter spring/higher springrate then longer spring/much shorter spring rate esp on a truck of this size.

Yeah I just want a progressive rate since I tend to hit corners hard. I was just about to order those 10-225-475, sucks I wanted to see where the 11" put me height wise but I'll just have to wait. Buddy at work said he would stay late next week and help me do the notch.
