5/7 drop bishes

Yeah you could drive w/o shocks bolted in, just around the block only, don't want to get on the highway though, its a good way jut to check heights.

Threw the z71 stops in friday and jfc what a pain in the ass that was. I hosed the things with white lithium and they didn't want to go in, had to smooth them down a bit with the bench grinder and they finally popped after I damn near ripped a finger nail trying. Ride is much better and it handles exceptionally well, just have to sort out the rear bumpstops when the new springs settle, I will also drop the front a bit more as it came up a hair with the new stops

That shit is clean......

How is the back sittin now with the trailblazer coils? Is there a need to c-notch the frame or are you gonna be good how it is?

 

[NORCAL SS]

the belltech 3 inch coils should sit about a 5 inch rear drop. the djm 4 inch trailblazer coils will sit lower

 

[Max]

That seems about right, I'm just a hair lower than the 5305 coils so these belltechs are about 5.5" maybe less when they settle.

 

[NORCAL SS]

yup djms sit 1 inch lower

Guess I should have called it the 4/6 drop thread then. Fuuuuck now I gotta build some bumper brackets and body drop it a bit, gotta sit under 30" at all 4 corners

So I'm lost now lol....which coils did you install? Do they ride as good as the 5305?

[Max]

I installed the belltech 3" trailblazer coils part # 4230. They ride a bit stiffer than the 5305 but handles better. I'll measure it next to a stock denali once the springs settle to determine the actual drop.

I'm creepin up on you max

any more pictures yet?

 

[Max]

Nope, I'll try to get some pics later this week once the springs settle. I might toss an isolator in one side to make it dead level with 1/2 a tank of fuel.

 

[Modded]

Looks good in the snowy pic, can't really see the drop amount though. Hopefully you got to a 6" drop.

 

[Max]

Not yet, it's about 1/2" away tho. I can tell it's lower since I have about 1" of uptravel on my rear shocks instead of the usual 1 1/2". I should have some shorter bilsteins installed later this week or the following.

 

[HokieHigh]

hey max what is the height of your rims and tires? I think your truck is the **** my fav by far

 

[Max]

Thanks dude, the tires are 30.5" tall.

4/6 dropped silverado

Hey guys I know this is suv forums but you seem to know a lot. I recently had my 3inch front drop coils removed and added my factory coils and a 4inch lower control arm but it looks the same. Would it take a week or two for it to fully drop since my factory coils have been sitting in my garage for years? My truck sits really low but I want that raked stance where its lower in the front. Any ideas? Ill post some pics soon

 

[Max]

Takes a week or so for most coils to settle, sometimes longer depending upon springrate and application.

 

[drop'd03]

Okay so I shouldn't get the coils cut? And is it just me or are all Chevy like 1/2 lower on driver side? Maybe cause the gas tank?

 

[Modded]

Its not just you on the Chevy lean, very common that it is lower on the driver side, especially on the torsion key front suspension SUV/Trucks (mainly years 00-06)
