[Rough ride with drop.]

My truck is dropped 2.5 3.5. The frame has been professionally notched welded and bolted, I have Beltech Performance Street shocks all around and Caltracs on the back. Larger sway bars all around. The ride is really rough in the back, like it doesnt want to move with the road, so you just bounce around inside. I have read about the caltracs being a issue? Otherwise I have no other idea. I bought the truck this way and this is the first lowered SSS I have owned. Im almost thinking the shocks could be bad as they have been on the truck for years and years. It was only drivn on nice days to car shows and then back it sat in his garage.

 

Thanks, Mike

Mike, I installed a set of Calvert Racing traction bars on my other truck(Ford F-150). The reason your truck rides so rough is, I'm guessing the guy you bought the truck from didn't tell you this, is because when you mount the bars, you need to install an aluminum I-bolt bushing in the front part of the spring. That's what Calvert Racing recommends. That is going to give you a seriously rough ride. So to solve this, you'll have to drop both springs and remove both aluminum bushings, put rubber bushings back in and get rid of the bars. Call Calver Racing and ask them for recommendations. I had mine adjusted and I had no issues.

[4" Cowl Hoods for the 03-06 Silverado]

I am curious if you would still happen to know or have any info on the 4 inch cowl hood that you had talked about getting made by a friend? I have an Arrival Blue '03 and am looking for a smooth cowl hood like the 4 inch one you showed. Everyone else shows a cowl hood with a gap running down the center in which I am not interested. I also have an idea of using a 1970 Chevelle SS flapper mated to the cowl hood, if that makes any sense?
