500 takes it all man. The black coils are Tony’s 6” coils . The other coils are some eBay shit I cut. Lol. 500 isn’t bad considering the control arms are about 350 or so

Man, been thinking about it and just can’t justify it since I’ve got 75% of my drop already. I appreciate it tho, that’s an awesome deal. I really am just lacking the panhard bar, LCA relocating brackets and would like to have Tonys springs

Man I totally get it lol. No worries. I actually been thinking about putting it back on. Been on the market for two weeks now and no real bites other than you. Been thinking hard also about converting over to coil overs. Man the mind of a truck guy . It never stops lmao

How many miles on this kit? I noticed the second set of shocks the black ones. Which ones are those?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve had the kit since last May . The black shocks are belltech nitro drop shocks 2 . They aren’t that great lol.

Quick question. Who here has/is running a 4-5” rear drop? Anybody had any luck running that drop without the LCA relocation brackets or the Spohn adjustable LCAs? Just trying to decide if I need those before I do the drop or if I’ll be ok for another couple months till I can get the Spohn LCAs

You will need them man. When you go much lower than 3” in the rear all of your rears geometry is off. For example the rear shift to one side , your drive shaft moves forward etc. I know that’s probably not what you wanted to hear lol.

I know eventually that will happen, just haven’t gotten a definitive answer on what point it happens lol. I’ve got my panhard bar to re-center the rear. I think I’ll pull the spacer to go 4” in the back and leave it there for a while till I can get LCAs. Then I’ll cut a coil or so off to go a touch lower. Nobody seems to sell the relocation brackets for a 3/4 rear kit so hopefully I’ll be fine

They are the same no matter if it’s 3 or 6 . Tony or tbssowners.com has them on their website the bracket kit is like 250

I have Tony’s 6” spring with half a coil cut and still have my stock upper and lower rear bars. Need them but just not right now

That’s what I’m wondering, since they apply to 3-6”, I would imagine I’d be ok for now to not run them. Screw it, I’ll just pull the spacer and if I get a lot of driveline vibe, I’ll put it back till I can order more shit lol

Got it dropped last night with help from a buddy. Took the spring spacer and isolators out (dropped it about 1 1/4”, no dshaft vibes up to 70 at least. I’ll post a couple pics later today after my alignment

Sitting at the alignment shop. Weather is ******, gotta mount the rear sway bar (ran out of time last night to drill and tap the new LH mount location) and then I’ll get it cleaned up with good pics. Driven it about 25 miles so far and love it!
