3/5 Sucks!!!

[G-NOTE]

We installed the 3/5 Mcgaughys kit and I don't know if it takes a while for the springs to settle, but the rear is up in the air...

At least 3" higher than the front...

I don't know what to do, but this ain't going to work...

The bump stops ARE cut, and proper lowered shocks installed...

When a couple of my buds get into the back it looks good, but right now it is crap!!!!

Do they make 6" drop coils??????

[Modded]

I say you take pics so we can help you better!

[grilled2003]

I was just getting ready to get 4/5.
Can you please post any pics and have
you found a solution for the back?

Thanx

[lowAZhoe]

what size tire and how much wheel gap do u have? these things cant go much lower than 5" without some modifications. i have the same drop kit and the rear takes a few days to settle. what shocks are you running? did u leave the rubber isolators out on the rear springs?

We need pics! My 5/5 belltech rides great fwiw.

Hey bro, I have the same kit. Honestly I want more drop too, but your springs/shocks will settle some. I don't know how much, mine seemed to be about 1/2 -3/4 in.

took a week for mine to settle, but that was maybe 1/2 or so... Mine rides excellent!


as mentioned...we need pics...

[fatnlowtahoe504]

[dropmech]

Whats the deal on the 8" drop spring??? Mr DJM???

This is how the truck sits all the time!

[ecordell]

Do you have the spring isolators out?

Done the free travel mod?

[G-NOTE]

If free travel mod is cut the bumpstops than yes...

Isolator mod ?

Other than pulling them out, how can you mod them...

Even still thats good for 1/2" at best, I need about 3"....

My front is turned all the way up, so it doesn't look stupid compared to the back!

[NoPh33rRaCiNg]

maybe you got wrong springs. i have a 02 tahoe with belltech 3/4 and my rear sits lower than that, i kept the bump stops and stock rear shocks w/ shock extenders and i have 24's

[fatnlowtahoe504]

thats odd, wrong springs maybe

Did you remove the coil isolators? If so you have a 3/5 same springs I have, fatnlow had, and nathan has on his esky. I love my springs.

so its normal for them to sit like this???

I am going to remove the isolators and clamp the first two coils of the spring...

Until i figure out what I am going to do...

this is my wifes truck, so I don't want to bag it, but that might be my only option!

By the way the customer service at Macaughys SUCKS A$$ !!!!

The guy was a complete prick, he said it was 3" higher in the rear cause I used djm drop shocks and not theirs...

He didn't like it when I told him he is a F#@Kin IDIOT...

[Max]

I know, the 5305 coils :Handshake: I may end up keeping mine and redoing the coil buckets if the QA1 coils don't ride like the belltechs.

AGREED

I called about the same issue and they are completely worthless!!!

I also had problems with getting the front to align. There response "Don't lower the front more than 3 inches". Well smartass, I have the keys cranked all the way up soooooo thanks for your help.

Did you guys ever figure out which one from summit racing???

If you go to a coilover style coil, you have to weld it into the perch, so it doesn't shoot out???

[killer20072001]

Dont mean to get off topic but, Max your sig pic is awesome I watched it for like 5 mins straight just laughing.

[Tahoe03mm]

[G-NOTE]

So, thats as far as this topic is going???

[Modded]

Try some Belltech 5305 rear coils back there, Max runds them on his black Denali for over 5"?

[G-NOTE]

Yeah, I guess I will try that...

Has anybody removed there SWAY bar ???

I heard the can get into a bind and not allow the truck to settle...

[MOBmentality]
