ToNasty Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 You don't need a bigger seeing. But your springs are probably worn to shit. I say get a new set of stock springs and yes do helpers because helpers save spring, and the panhard rod/bar I know you say you don't want helpers but I bet your truck sags pretty good right now and your rear springs are shot ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk13 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Upgraded sway bar. Stiffer coils. Better shocks. There is no difference in rear suspension between 2wd and 4wd on that truck. Static drops are my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 im sorry you have coil springs, why in gods name cheverolet keeps going back to this shit just for a "nice" ride is beyond me. didnt work in the 60's aint gonna work now. regardless, 10 ply tires will help the most. then go from there, pretty crazy what going from 35psi 4 ply tires to 90psi 10 ply's can do Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

audiofanaticz Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 my bad you said you had springs. you didnt specify coil springs or leaf springs, but I guess I should instantly know because you didnt clearly specify I have coils springs too around my shocks... deedeedee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk13 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 We used these guys for custom applications years ago. They'll want an estimated weight at least. http://www.coilsprings.com Suspension basics: --Springs/bags/helpers carry the weight and control ride height and majority of ride stiffness. Axle to frame mount. Very strong. Weight carrying points. --Shocks control bounce and rebound and also factor into the ride quality. The tabs they are mounted to are not designed to carry weight. Just look at the tabs and see how much strength there isn't compared to the axle and frame mounts for the spring. --Sway bars control sway. Bigger is not always better, but in this case more stiffness could definitely help. --Panhard/trac bar keeps the axle centered in the vehicle. In an extreme case I guess it could flex enough to give the feel of too much sway, but I've never seen it. If you are outside of factory ride height you may need an adjustable bar to get the axle centered again. --Heavier load rating tires would definitely stiffen up the feel. Static drops are my bag.

Rupp250 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 You can get a set of custom coils for the rear. http://www.dentoni.com/sss/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
