2/3 or 3/5 that is the question

[NORCAL SS]

8 inch spring no prob just need to know few things about your truck then i can spec you out the correct qa1 spring.

thing is i have to know what ride height from eye/eye now then i can spec somethign off of that.

My concern is the loss of travel and ride quality. I put some 5" djm springs in for about 30 minutes before swapping my belltechs back into place. Sucks nobody makes a progressive rate spring just like my belltechs but 2" shorter.

 

[NORCAL SS]

THere are progressive rate springs been using them for a while

have anywhere from a 10 inch to 12 inch spring. and spring rates starting from 100 and going up to 600 if needed.

softer 10 inch spring rate will still ride good becuase you can have it go to 250 or 475 or 600.

Dammit you're a ****** Tony now I have to try some.

 

[NORCAL SS]

its jsut hard people here think oh qa1 wtf they have been around for a while. ITs a very easy swap and you can use the springs if you dont like it return it. I allways order a few different ones then return the ones customer doesnt like.

Ive been around these trucks since dec of 99 when i first lowered a customers suburban with the DJM 3/5 kit and just learned a lot over the years. If i can help the people here learn about more options that work so be it.

You has a pm. I've been using QA1 stuff for year when I was into sprint cars and hotrod shit with great success, guess I'm not the guinea pig since you've done it before

 

[NORCAL SS]

no prob sent a pm first steps to the process.

3/5 is the way to go..

 

[ecordell]

Or if you are not sure, talk to coopiesb, he has a 2/3 drop he's selling for way cheap and you could try that out first and not be out much money

 

[screamin86]

yeah my biggest worry is ill be on stock 16in wheels which i plan to be for awhile and i dont want it to look too retarted. there was a member on the old forum that had a 2wd burban and he did a 2/3 drop and had stock rims and i thought it looked great.

 

[BlizzardX23]

Man...Screamin...Stock wheels on a dropped truck is going to be the new "thing"...

Im doing it before it gets popular lol...I cant wait to find a good set of 17s!

 

[screamin86]

haha. well im more into making this tank quick and functional and big heavy rims on a already heavy suv wouldnt fit what i want lol.

 

[BlizzardX23]

Check this bad boy out Screamin!! This thing looks SIIIIIICK lowered on stocks!

 

[MOBmentality]

ok.. tricks not so much.. because its painted and stuff.. but.. this mother right here!?!?!?!?

YYeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh LOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE

or this is a ..... iffy.. .photoshop job.. but.. you can still see how effin SICK it looks on stockies!!!

i LOVE stock wheel SLAMS

 

[BlizzardX23]

lol...are you making fun of me? or do you also really like them??

 

[tybardy]

stock wheel drops only look good if the truck is HAMMERED. lowering a truck a few inches with stockers looks half ass but thats just me...

Then there is also my love for foolishly wide tires. I cant even lower my front end any more then 1/2" before it tears into my tire (tires are as wide as the finder flares)

 

[BlizzardX23]

Im with you on that Ty...I love wide tires for some reason....I've always wanted Lamborghini width tires in the back...but they wont fit...plus...I already can only rotate my tires from front to back (not side to side)...if I did that...I wouldnt be able to rotate the tires EVER

 

[MOBmentality]

no forreal i LOVE stockies SLAAAMMMMMED.. if youre gonna go stock dump it on its dick

and you CAN go wide.. tub it!

 

[BlizzardX23]

and you CAN go wide.. tub it!

LOL...NO...Im not going to spend thousands on tubbing, modifying frame (since its close to the rim already)...and shortening my axle lol...

but I'd love to

 

[MOBmentality]

you dont have to shorten your axle (although you have to to do 24x15s with a 12 inch lip.. im just sayin)... all you have to do is box the frame 4 link it and do a set of tubs.. then you can run a 24x?? with the same offset you have now.. shortening the rearend doesnt have as much to do with width as it does lip
