chawkins6789 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Can I do a 4 link and coil over setup without having to lower. I would rather keep the 1.25" of lift in the rear because I do still tow occasionally Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORCAL SS Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 why not just do helper bags? rear belltech sp shocks rear djm swaybar rear helper bags truck will handle great provent set up for a while now on customers trucks ive done.

kelleyperformance Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 ^^^im with him, helper bags are hands down the way to go. that way you can set up the suspension a bit lower with no/very little air to say, as low as youd ever consider when not towing/hauling. that way, if you ever wish it was a bit higher or like it used to be, add some air and your back to that height. and obviously the advantage of load leveling with really ANY payload is a huge plus too. my SSS is dropped 3.5/4.5 and i tow over 13,000-15,000 lbs with it at least twice a week, with a payload/tongue of at least twice what its rated for. but what Norcal said is IDEAL, will not just feel more like a car without a harsh ride but will tow and haul worlds better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy91040 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Can't vouch for using helper bags but I do know that when you build a link setup on any vehicle you figure your ride height and build around that. If I were you, I'd build it so you can move your coilovers up or down so when you're not towing you can level it out. If you need to tow/haul, lift the truck, not the axle and you can adjust the mounting heights with just a few bolts. It makes the install a little more complicated but nothing major.

kelleyperformance Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 i think what he was suggesting with the bags would be instead of the trouble/expense of fabricating a coilover setup. it is nice that coilovers offer the full adjustable like your saying, but you would have to get under the truck, get the truck off its weight just to adjust the height for towing. thats why i said +1 for the helper bags, you can do it from the drivers seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chawkins6789 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I sit pretty level right now with a 2.5" leveling kit and a 1.25" block. As for the shocks they still need to be able to take a little abuse because I do still tow.

NORCAL SS Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 ive been doing these trucks for over 13 years now. Main thing hands down in rear swaybars help a lot.
