jddmj Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 So Friday Carls_LQ9_SS and myself done a 2/4 drop on my 06 silverado ext cab. We done coils, shackles and rear hangers. We cut 2 nubs off of the rear bump stops but did nothing to the front. It is riding like a covered wagon lol. I spoke with another member and he suggested getting some shorter bump stops for the rear to solve that problem. Now what can I do for the front?

jm3907 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Go with belltech shocks man, my friend also did 2/4 and he took the bump stop completely out. How are you liking the coils? Edited November 14, 2011 by La SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Seems to be fine. I got belltech shocks as well. Im not sure if I should take the stops out in the front or not. Ive read its dangerous to drive without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I did two inch spindles and shackles on my truck and put beltech shocks on also and it rides way rougher then stock did. You could drill the front bump stops. I herd not to cut nubs off tho. I believe mr.p did a right up on drilling them Sent From My Droid X on Vortex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnss Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 well i did a 3/4 drop on the SS. im rock the stock shocks and i removed the front bump stops. up front my truck rides great its the back thats stiff. i cut 2 nubs off the back bump stop and removed the bracket that the rear bump stops are mounted. then mounted the bump stops directly to the frame. when you remove the bracket that the rear bump stops are mounted to there is a perfect hole in the frame that you can remount the bump stop to . it worked out great for me. what part seems to be ruff up front or out back? out back is where mine is so ruff.

NORCAL SS Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 front remove bumpstops and use the flat 3/8 ones you will be fine in rear remove the backet completly and use the 3/8 flat ones also.
