Maaaan you guys get nailed on cost up in Canada, huh?

13bighorn · Mar 4, 2016

That was front and rear? I'm just going to do rear so I would save the cost of the fronts atleast. Is that with your spohn bars? And adjustable panhard?

wow that's a nice setup!!

Ok so its all done.

Stock Measurements were 37" front 39.5" in the rear

Full down its 33" in the front(now 32.5" with belltech Bumpstops and 33" in the rear. IT lays out on the bumpstops, and the upper Spohn control arm is about 1/4" away from touching the frame.

Ride awesome. I have rideheight set below what a 2/4 drop is and rides great. Repalced rear links wtih Adjustable hellwig units, Front F150 links, Hellwig front and rear sway bars, along with the Spohn Pack of arms. Very happy witgh results. I still have to measure full lift, but rear is either same as stock or higher, front is about 1" drop id say

can you drive it full down or do you have to bring it up a little?

DAMN that was quick!

How was the install? Obviously not too bad.

Can you raise it up for driving around or is that pretty much the ride height?

maple · Mar 6, 2016

We need more pics of everything now
Man your truck look great, very nice

It can be driven on all 4 bump stops in full Down, however ridetech advises against it as it may damage internal bumps top in the shockwave

I'll have to get some after my vacation. Compressor is under passenger rear seat, manifold is under the same seat near the back wall. Air tank is mounted inside the frame rail between frame and driveshaft, tons of room when you have standard gas tank

Install was pretty basic. Keep in mind, I own a large auto repair shop, and this is t my first rodeo. Few little things didn't quit fit 100%, but a little grinding here and there and it's good. Yah it raises up tons, I raise it a good few inches for driving. Rear end raises up exactly to what stock was before

Maybe next week, time for a vacation to california! Hoping when I get back my body shop will be done with my gate, antenna and grille

bgray · Mar 6, 2016

Btw it only has .5degree negative camber in front while at drive height

Dubstep Shep · Mar 6, 2016

I definitely want more pics!

bgray · Mar 6, 2016

Name the pics you guys want, and I'll take them last week

Dubstep Shep · Mar 6, 2016

I'd like to see some of the ride heights and suspension geometries at said heights. And of course installation pics. Whatever you had to cut out or mod.

No rush though
