coil spring swap

[derail]

I can't get my phone to do a search for me so I am going to ask a question that I'm sure has already been talked about.....has anyone swaped out their half ton coil springs with 3/4 ton? I have a 2011 1500.....

Not that I know of but there is a company that sells upgraded coils for the 1/2 ton Dodge Products

Have you tried the airlift 1000 bags?

Didnt really want to have to mess with air....thought will different coils it would be a one time deal....

Your not going to get 3/4 ton coils on a half ton, they are way too big. Just get the upgraded coils and be done with it.

^Truth. TTC springs has +50% and +25% capacity springs. No fuss. no muss. I swapped in RCSB 2WD springs to my CCSB 4WD; they're the same.

Stick with your stock springs and get air bags. Why would you want the harsh, bumpy ride of a 3/4 ton in a 1/2 ton truck all the time? My 1/2 tons drove like a Cadillac compared to my 2500. Ride quality is the #1 complaint of people with HD trucks and the rear springs are the #1 thing that contributes to it.

Yeah airbags will be your best and most comfortable option.

I'd get after market coils made for 1500. I think I've seen some that are variable rate so you won't have a harsh ride when empty

TTC springs is supposedly coming out with a +50% that retains stock ride height. The +50% they have now actually raise the truck because it's a stiffer coil.

They also sell variable rate coils.

I had the airlift bags and will be switching to TTC springs in the New Year. I found that the airlift kit leaked air (only installed a couple months). Would rather trust a metal coil, instead of an air filled plastic bag.

glad to know. I really didnt want to raise the rear any

OK thanks everyone....I'm gonna chck into the TTC springs....I don't want the problems StevoTee ran into with air...

 

[cableguy_hd]

just got an email back from Tuf Truck Springs. He said the 50% increase springs could raise the rear end up to 4"'s when empty... too much for me

Im running the Total Load Control bags on my 1500 and i couldnt be happier.

If you put in a lift strut or leveling kit up front as well, it returns to near stock rake. Just an idea for you. That's what I ended up having to do.

I traded my 3/4 ton truck for a half ton because I hated the ride. Put air bags on my half ton and it is wonderful....no leaks in almost a year and I get the nicer ride daily.....
