NORCAL'S $15 dollar 07+ strut mod

[NORCAL SS]

Did this mod today but did a .550 inch slot and got 3/4 inch drop. Ride quality is the same, cant tell the difference

Im going to lower the back a bit more and if it still rides good maybe lower the front again with a .80 inch slot...

.62 is a inch. also for 2 inches ive done the drop and thats when you feel the difference. ON the stock shocks 1.5 is most id go but you can go more f it. 6 years ive been doing them no real negative feedback from any ive done.

My rear links are at 1 1/4 now... Im trying 1" soon to get the back under 34. If not ill try cutting a dead coil

 

[NORCAL SS]

align it yet?

 

[Alex29573]

Not yet, need to finish messing with the back still

So got back in town today after not using the truck for 9 days....

Start it up and there is a service suspension light on WTF

Didnt stop me from messing with the rear autoride links. I found that i cannot get the rear lower than 34" no matter how short i make the links. I guess i would have to cut dead coils off the springs to get the rear lower.

Ill wait till i get my 24" replicas before i try lowering more. For now i need to fix the service suspension thing, which i dont understand because the truck rides perfect

 

[NORCAL SS]

your not going to get lower unless you cut the dead coils on it or change springs.

check connections in both front and rear shocks.

 

[Alex29573]

Last night the message was not coming up anymore but i still disconnected the battery overnight. Connected the battery this morning and still no error code... Checked all connections and everything is good, truck rides smooth.

Only thing i did was tie wrap the ebrake cable away from the shock. Ecause there was some rub marks on the shock

Norcal, If i cut dead coils do i need to change the autoride links or do i leave them how they are now? The way its setup now the rear will not go lower even if i make the links shorter

 

[NORCAL SS]

pull the rear lines from the shocks it prob has any air in there. Im at 34 3/8 in rear with the links still longer on mine and if i pull the lines off bags still get a gush of air and truck comes down to 34 inches. cut a dead coil truck should come down if you adjust the links.
