3/6 from tony

[BADRIDES]

this is why my rear kit is 5-6 adjusatble

He doesn't have a rear spacer in there and he only got dropped 4.375. His might not have gotten dialed in. See post #13.

That was for the post where guy said any lower in rear it would look lower then front. The kit is adjustable 2 to 3 in front so that's why I include the rear spacer. My main concern is ride quality which this kit does a great job at

 

[Wicked Mayhem]

Yes the kit rides great. Front drop was as advertised. If I would have bought the kit and running a shorter tire wanting a true 6" rear drop, I would be severely disappointed. Unless it's gonna drop another 1-5/8" when they settle. But I have 110 miles on the kit and the fender measurements are identical to what I started with.

Springs sag over time also on oem. The truck on this forum tested on was 32k miles and 285 45 22 38.75 after spring kit 33 1/8 this,was years ago. I then gave others who buy springs and they replace what they have and are very happy with ride.

Springs vary on back of these trucks from factory not all sit the same.

I'll have to look into making another spring but as it is wuth my springs in the panhard bar is very close to hitting upper crossmember in rear

 

[Wicked Mayhem]

Yeah I love the height it's at for my setup. I wouldn't want it much lower as id have rubbing issues and with it being the wife's, don't want that.

Thinking about DJM ucas cause that balljoint doesn't looks super happy

I have 1200-1500 miles on mine. It will settle some, not enough or me to want to put the spacer in. Im on 275/45-22, front rubs a bit, rear only when loaded. I do seem to sit a touch lower though

 

[nitty]

Love how it looks.

 

[Countryboy07]

Looks Great! I may still go this route with our '05 after I'm tired of having it leveled

 

[David Paul]

Looks great, what size and type wheels/tires? Looks like a setup I'd like to do?
Fosscore already has me convinced on the 3/5-6 drop....

Love the way it looks, really like that color clean and simple.

But I'm still a little confused as to why you didn't get more drop in the rear if you are using his 6" springs with no spacer. I had the same springs and was sitting at 32.25" before I cut them on my 04. After I cut them I was at 31.5"

The guy who said that is the guy you're talking to in this post

There are variances on springs from oem and top spring mounts on the axle. like on trailblazers some were welded up higehr than others.

Main thing to watch out for is the top of the panhard bar clearance until it hits the bottom of the upper crossmember

I can understand that every truck is different from factory and that every truck settles different over time. I can also understand that maybe his stock springs had sagged a little over time and that's why he didn't get a full 6" drop. But I can't see that all that adding up to a difference of more then a 1.5" without spacers.

Anyways truck still looks good! Lol

Thanks. And idk. Everyone's is a little different I suppose. After you cut them, how well do they stay in place? I got the front sitting within 3/16" side to side but the back is 5/8"off side to side. I don't mind it being a little off but 5/8" is a lot. That was at full tank. It's at 1/2 tank now and it's still 5/8" of and fronts still within 3/16". But I'm fine with being 33" especially with my wife driving it. Don't have to worry about anything rubbing.

And the wheels are oem 2015's with the stock 275/55/20's.

springs stayed in place just like normal, no problems there. My front sat exactly at 31" both sides and my rear only differed about 3/16" and this was all on 285/45/22 tires.

 

[Wicked Mayhem]

Damn that looks great. Did you put the cut part at the top or bottom? How much did you cut?

 

[07Burb]

I miss that white beauty

I miss that white beauty

Cut the top because of the cup it sits in up there.
