00-10 5.5 Inch Drop Spring Tahoe/Yukon Rear

[NORCAL SS]

I installed these coils on my 07 Avalanche over the weekend and I can tell you these thing ride like a caddy!!!

I have the DJM Rear Hardware kit and DJM shocks and it rides great. Couldn't ask for more

I will get measurements tonight and I will try to upload some pics soon.

Thanks to Tony for all the help!!

I didn't know the helper bags fit inside these, I may have to scoop a set from you now.

on the guys that want to cut i use the belltech tb spring and cut a coil off then smooth the edges that will drop it 6.5 inches over stock then i use the airlift bags inside. You will need to run a shock that is 18 inches extended. Using the same set up on my wifes truck now and have done prob 50 local trucks like this over the past years with no problems. I was tryign to get a spring made to set us this low but not enough people were interested.

the djm tb spring when cut loses a lot of its quality due to design and 99 percent of the people like the way it rides and sits low enough. But for customers that want to get lower I install the belltech set up and cut a loop along with the rear djm hardware kit and shocks with airlift bags and its fine.

on 305 35 24 and this spring the back sat at 31.5 with no air in the airbags.

Damn I hate cutting coils but that may solve my issue with these belltech tb coils, little bastards just need a little more springrate.

 

[1lowhoe04]

ill go and take some pictures of what mine sits at ow but i got that 5 inch spring cut almost in half and sits nice and i am running tahoe 20s 245/50/20 pictures will be up tomorrow

 

[NORCAL SS]

the main thing the coils ONLY CUT OFF THE TOP do not cut the lower side. You need the placement on the rear axle. ive never had issues with the tb coils cut as long as you use that airbag i put in the post. because when the truck sits down its only like 5 inches from top to bottom of spring clearance. ive done tons of the tb coils cut off the top and flat cut the top spring and no issues.


1lowhoe what does your truck sit at now from ground to fenderlip?? if you have 245 50 20 it should sit at like 29

with the 5100 series bilstein ride honestly is not as good as with the djm 1800s with the cut tb spring and airhelper bags.

 

[Max]

Did you use the standard 60769 airlift bags? The issue I have with these is they collapse onto themselves due to the low springrate, bags could solbe all that but I like being 31" at all corners. I'd like to just swap everything out for king or fox coilovers and put some struts up front. Sigh.

 

[NORCAL SS]

i never use those i use the 60748 kit. its only 5.5 inches tall.

with your 20s and the tb coils cut off the top only like i posted in my link you should be 31 easy at all corners and ride great.

 

[Max]

You think rancho 9000XLs would ride better than 5100s?

 

[NORCAL SS]

honestly the djm rear shocks just like everyone else here has been doing ride really good.

first of all id start with the tb coil cut like i show in that pic and use the air kit I listed

 

[Max]

Word I'll try that, thanks homie

 

[NORCAL SS]

how much are your rear belltech tb coils cut now? what shocks and bags are you running?

 

[Max]

They aren't cut at all, I have the 60769 bags but haven't used them since I swapped out the 5305 coils (which rode much nicer). Rear shocks are 22.5" Bilstein 5100s with belltech 6651 shock extensions, ride is decent for how low it sits but I know more can be had and bags would be nice for towing.

 

[NORCAL SS]

put the tb springs off the batt see where it sits then go from there. They ride good.

cant pm due to posts.

What is the most static drop you can get away with without frame notching with, air helper bags? (2002 escalade)

also why dont I see more people with 3in arms and drop spindles? am i missing something, wouldnt that be and easy way to drop the front tons without messing with the spring rate of the torsion bar?

Im in between a rock and a hard place. Im addicted to slammed vehicles, but bough my escalade to tow my car around in the summer......

not many people want to go 5 inches in front but ive done a lot of them

for the front you can do the djm 3 inch a arms with djm shocks and belltech 2 inch drop spindles for 5 inches. In rear you can do the djm hardware kit with the djm 1800 shock and the tb spring cut 1.5 loops and use the air helper bags from airlift and you will be pretty good.

but what size tires are you running on your truck.


rear tb spring cut with helper bags

 

[Drift Union]

just picked up a set of 18's that match the drift car, so tire size isnt going to be an issue.

can you email me a price for the parts listed to [email protected]
