nick overall the new tb designed coils ride better than the djms you had in there before. Just want to make sure your happy with the new coils.

yes sir..i dont get the bouncing like i did before...well see how it does on my trip to colorado tonight, but should be just fine..only thing i noticed is the helper bags are weird..i can fill them in like 2 seconds, and i barely let any air out and it seems to drop 10-20 psi...but i dont bottom out so all is well

If I can get 31.25 overall with 275/65/20, I will be happy with that.

I installed the BT TB coils hoping for 31" on a 275/45/20 and it didn't happen. I'm stuck at 32" even, maybe 31 7/8". If your shocks make the difference that will be great news.

Yeah i hoping my shocks will make the difference. Im shooting for less than a two finger gap.

did you mean 275/45 not 275/65? thats a 34" tire lol..my tire, 265/75 which is 31.64 diameter im at 31 7/8...a 275/45 is 29.74 diameter..thats almost an inch difference in the radius, so you should be sitting at like 31 1/8 with these coils and shocks

Made it to colorado..cruising 80 with the truck fully loaded didnt bottom out once and rode great..weighed in at 7400 lbs with 5 people and full of bags and shit lol..16 mpg cruising 80..not bad

34 INCHES vs 32 is 2 inches so will lower 1 inch at fenderlip. ie a 10 inch taller tire will only lift up 5 inches at the fenderlip.

yup..so my 31.74 vs his 29.74 should be almost an inch lower at fender lip then me

Alex33 · Mar 11, 2012

Yeah, I think the issue is my shocks. I really believe they are just too long.

I would hope so bud. My S10 rode much better when I went to bags from a 5/8 static drop. I hope you get your Yuk sorted. Once you get it right, you'll love it.

Nickleahy23 · Mar 21, 2012

got the rims back on yesterday..never realzied how ****** those stocks rode..they were old ass michelins and must have been super stiff..it rides 100x better on the 24s..love it now

Yuko04 · Mar 21, 2012

Looks sick man! I think I finally got my drop dialed in now... Next is swaybars and 24's :pimp:

Yuko04 · Mar 25, 2012

Them airlift 60748 bags....You like them? Were they hard to install and do they lift the rear any??? Thanks bro.

Nickleahy23 · Mar 25, 2012

ya they seem to work just fine..didnt bottom out at all with the truck loaded down..pretty simple to install..just ran the air fittings through the license plate..you can pop out the plastic pieces that the screws go into, and run the airline through there..right through the plate

This really makes me miss my rims. Look great!

Yuko04 · Mar 25, 2012

Ok...Yeah I would use the existing hole that I have for my airshocks. I see in your recent pic,looks like you are lower in the rear than in the front. Is that the case? Car show season is starting soon and I have my minitruck and my cuda that I tow to shows,so I wanna get on this rearend sag real quick. When you ran your airlift lines,did you go through the top of the spring or the bottom? And I spose you used the "T" fitting so they would fill evenly? Sorry so many ?'s...I see you like them and just making sure that I will. Since I will be towing atleast 6000 lbs of s..t!

Nickleahy23 · Mar 25, 2012

my old springs and bags that i had, it would actually lift the truck up when i got a lot of air in them..these bags dont seem to do that so much...but they prevent bottoming out, so im not sure..i ran them through the top of the springs, and i ran seperate lines so i can put diff amount of air in to make it level if need be, but i never have had to mess with it

Yuko04 · Mar 25, 2012

Sweet! Thanks man. I just ordered them about 10 min ago. Thanks for your input! :Handshake:
