Hello everybody,
I've seen some really tight rides on here and have read the boards for a couple of week before sending this out. I just bought a 03 Sierra ESC. A dealer in my area sells truck with a 3/4 drop and a few other mods for about $6K extra. I figured I could do the same thing for waayyyy cheaper, plus the custom truck I test drove (3/4 w/coils/shak/hanger and 22's) It rode nice on the smooth rodes but it felt and sounded like the truck was going to snap in half on the bump/pothole roads. I live in the DC area and the roads are real crappy. I have read many articles and I think I would get a better ride if I used 2" control arm or 2" spindle with a 1" spring to get the desired drop in front, plus I have a customised car with shorter springs and I know how much of a difference shortned springs can make in a smooth ride. Any way, I have looked at Stylinconcepts/ Belltech/DJM and each offer a 3/4 for about $399 with Arms/schackle/hangers, I was thinking about getting such a kit plus get a 1" spring for the inch of drop. Soon after I plan on getting 275/45/20's or I saw a guy with the same set up with 285/45/20's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep up the good work on those rides.
