tblrk1980 Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 you guys are crazy....130ish in a siverado. Thats a lot of air to move. I've done 156 in my 540i several times and just the small bumps in the road really magnify at that speed. But in a truck with 32 inch tires....has got to be hairy unless you are running a very tight suspension setup. What suspension setups are you 130ish guys running?

But in a truck with 32 inch tires....has got to be hairy unless you are running a very tight suspension setup. What suspension setups are you 130ish guys running? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually no.. stock suspension for me too. A heavy enough vehicle with AWD and it just sticks. I probably wouldn't recommend going around anything more than a LONG sweeping corner at 130, but in a straight line it feels glued to the road. The 143 truck was N/A, yeah. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What does it have done to it? :X <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would assume either a bunch of boost or possibly one of the 408 trucks Zippy is working on..

But in a truck with 32 inch tires....has got to be hairy unless you are running a very tight suspension setup. What suspension setups are you 130ish guys running? I'm thinking of upgrading my torsion bars, actually... Remember that in these trucks the rubber overload snubber is calibrated to provide a progressive assist to the torsion bars, so the front spring rate feels progressive rather than linear. I can tell a big difference > 100-mph now that I've cut my front snubbers (I installed lowering spindles & keys). I now realize the 'right' thing to do on a lowered truck is to keep the stock snubbers (don't cut them) but somehow pocket them into the frame, shhyeah right Mr. P. Edit - I just read something else interesting, when lowering our truck the angle between the lower control arm and the ground is decreased, which increases the leverage the LCA has on the torsion bar; by how much I dunno but something to think about later...
