First off,
I have had a couple of different drop coils and even though the Belltech 5305 coil rides good, the Pedders rode way better. The Pedders was only a 3" drop though.

@ Modded, did the Pedders coil handle loads better? Meaning did it too bottom out as easily?

@ Blazed..... I am glad you followed up and did NOT let this thread die yet. Have you done the RK2007 kit for the trailing arms and sway bar yet.....any follow ups feedback?

I am running Airlift1000's on a 2 inch drop. They work, but I wished I had gotten a slightly bigger bag for a little more lift. Right now at 35# I only get about a 1/2 inch lift or so.

It does however prevent major sag. Empty it rides a little stiff too. I think when someone goes with dropping their truck they have to start "anticipating" loads. If you are caught off guard and have no air

in the bags you will rub/bottom out. I am still debating if I want to buy a compressor to air up on the go.

Oh yeah the Pedders coils handled loads a good amount better too. When I was dropped on those I literally could not tell I was dropped at all from the way they rode. I don't think I ever bottomed out on them.
The front Pedders coils rode good for two months and then the ride went to absolute ish because it needed a shock swap.
I also have the DJM RK2007 kit. It did not make even the slightest difference in ride but I figured I should leave it on there since it has little resale value.

No, I don't have DJM sways. Just the end link and trailing arm relocators.
