Getting the Ride Back

[NORCAL SS]

I've played around with the pressure a bit and even with 40 psi the truck is still under 32" in back. I have about 25 psi in them at the moment, a bit more in the driver's bag due to a full tank of fuel, and it sits at 31.75 dead at both rear fenders. I think I'll end up with the pressures around 10-15 until I wire up a compressor but holy shit it rides/handles better than any other spring I've installed.

and thanks to tony for telling me about this spring hahahahahah had to rub it in bro.

lol I've been running them for a year! Seriously though I think the bags made most of the difference, I know it was huge when I put them in the 5305 coils but a little extra springrate from the revised coils definitely helps. I don't think I'll be cutting them, sits low as **** and I'm finally happy...for now

the new rear spring came out about 6-8 months ago (dark tb belltech coil)

but overall the trailblazer coils either belltech or djm ride a lot better than any spring that djm or belltech or mcgaughys made for the tahoes thats 3 4 or 5 inch drop.

I honestly think the 5305 coils ride nice on these trucks, I just wanted it lower. I've done quite a few sets of those and people love the progressive rate even when towing. I'm sold on these belltech tb coils with the helper bags though, the rear rides smoother than the front now.

What is the part number for the Tahoe/Yukon DJM 5" spring helper bags?

 

[NORCAL SS]

60748 is for the belltech trailblazer spring.

60742 is for the djm trailblazer spring.

 

[Max]

any better shots yet max? still rolling the 30" tires?

Coils still have to settle too, hoping for 25psi in the bags and 31" so it sits on the new tires nice. Wheels may be coming sooner than later if I get my hustle on this month. Truck is pretty dirty but this is all you get until I paint some shit

i'm thinking our drops are about the same amount then give or take a half inch? if youre at 32" fm on the drivers side on 30" tires and i'm at 33" fm on the drivers side on 32" tires then is should be the same.

this right tony?

your's just looks so much lower then mine tho still.

these pics were taken on saturday but it has dropped some since.

 

[NORCAL SS]

the new belltech tb springs sits about 3/4 to 1 inch lower about.

with no air he was at 31 inches on 30 inch tires (I think thats what he said)
you are at 33 inches on 32 inch tires.

his tires are 2 inches shorter so that would be 1 inch drop in fenderwell height (20 inch tall tire vs a 30 inch tall tire truck wont lift up 10 inches but 1/2 the acutal difference)

on his tires you would be at 32 inches from ground to fenderlip.

i'm thinkin' i shoulda went with the belltech tb springs.

 

[Max]

Just wait until they settle, you'll be happy. My truck has spindles + keys cranked all the way for about 4.5" drop up front and my tires are about an inch shorter at 30.25" overall, rear is probably close to 6" of drop with 20psi in the bags right now. Just drive it for a bit, I think you'll be stoked once you give them time to settle homie.

 

[NORCAL SS]

with djm front a arms and the tb rear springs you will have that cali lean babyyy

[Max]

Just be patient homie, took me 3 years to get my truck to this point.

are you running the stock spring isolators or are you running them without?

 

[bub]

are you running the stock spring isolators or are you running them without?

what are those? the rubber pads that sit on the top and the bottom of the springs? if so, yes i have them in there.

ya those are it...you will sit a little lower without them, not sure how much though..thats how max set mine up the frist time, and i did the same way this time..

 

[Max]

They'll drop it about 1/4" to 1/2", pull those ******* out they don't help anything...my coils have never squeaked.

 

[bub]

good to know. thanks guys. pull them out as in all 4? both top and bottom?

 

[Max]

Yup, both top and bottom. PM me your # over here or on gmfs as I usually have my phone on me if you have any questions
