Coilover Swap Complete!
Coilover Swap Complete!
The ride is SO much better and I can actually get a level ride or give it a prerunner stance if iwant to! Before with my #1 bars cranked all the way my A-arms were pretty much level. right now I have a prerunner stance since i know the coils will settle some.
Am I the first from the group buy to get this done?
I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking.

you dont count though cause you didnt buy the swap kit from Shadow905! lol, I had my shocks before the group buy but im still waiting for parts....

I know, sorry guys. I didnt intend for the pics to be delayed but for some reason they were taking so long to upload and I was too excited to let everyone know to wait any longer.
Oh, and those are the 750# coils just in case anyone is wondering and they are set almost exactly in the middle of their adjustment.

Absolutely! And the sky is the limit for tune-ability on these things so it can only get better! the only thing is it makes the rear seem so rough by comparison lol and I have the 63" chevs with only two leafs which already rides much better than stock leafs.
there was quite a bit of fab work (considering there are only 4 brackets and 4 gussets) to make everything strong enough and fit right without rubbing but definitely worth it!
The stock upper shock mount was not built to support the weight of the truck. I know RCDs kit just bolts the coilovers there without any extra support but I figured more can never hurt.

RCD kit gussets the shock tower. I was talking about the gussets on the upper arm mounts though. I've only seen that done on camburg trucks in the past. Just wondering what the intent was.

Thanks. Yeah, it did exactly what I wanted and has been holding up just fine.
