Getting the Ride Back

[bub]

Tony what are the differences between my djm TB springs and the ones Max just put in?

 

[Nickleahy23]

so tony, which springs did i get with my kit? Hopefully the belltech tb springs lol..glad its back to a good ride max

 

[NORCAL SS]

no the kit i had on the site is the djm tb spring which ive been using for a while. With the belltech rear spring the truck will bottom out more with helper bags in both cases will not.

but due to the size/winding of the djm tb spring it handles loads a lot better.

and the new design tb spring from belltech has been out for a while and ive been using it just the rear is a lot lower and you need to drop the front at least 4 inches to match. Im the one who told max about the new design spring last week

Too busy enjoying the ride and getting it sideways again, I'll try to get some pics tomorrow when it rains all over my nice clean truck.

yank ptb3600 stall with 4.10s

do that it will 60 foot hard!!

30.5" up front and 31.5" out back with about 15psi in the bags. I can air it out and drop it to 31" at 5psi but it rides better with more pressure in the bags. I think I'm gonna run a slightly taller tire with the 22s so hopefully it doesn't rub.

 

[NORCAL SS]

my customers with the replica 22x9s and 285 35 22 and bagged in the rear there is no rubbing issues. Just like I worked with FR on the original tbss 22x9 for 2 1/2 years i helped spec the offset for the newer trucks also when they went into production of the wheel for the 6x5.5 bolt pattern.

 

[Max]

I'm gonna try some 285/40 nittos just to have a bit more sidewall with the larger wheel, hope to have the wheels powdercoated in about a month with the way work has been going.

 

[NORCAL SS]

you got the replica wheels already?

there have been no issues with the black or flat black 22s painted process at all.

285 40 22 will work perfectly fine. 305 35 22 i had to trim the rear lip on a bagged truck.

This is a really dumb ? But how do these helper bags work?? I guess I'm thinking of the ones on my truck as these look completely different.

Do these just ballon out and not let the spring travel as much?

I just ordered the 2-3/4 drop for my tahoe and starting to wonder if I'm gonna need these????

What is the part number on those short helper bags? I am in desperate need of something. I bottom out 24/7 with the DJM 5" coils, belltech swaybar, DJM hardware kit, and about 500 pounds of audio equipment.

 

[bub]

what helper bag part number is needed for the djm tb springs?

 

[Max]

60748

60748 is for the belltech trailblazer spring.

60742 is for the djm trailblazer spring.

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.
