it could be said that pick up Trucks in general need weight behind the rear axle they have poor weigh balance with an empty bed, we agree 100% with adding to this situation
it would be a good idea to cycle your suspension to see what actual shock length you will need i highly doubt you will need a 10" travel coil over something closer to 6" is likely to be more appropriate for the suspension travel and packaging that the stock arms will allow.
Your arm lengths and KPI could be modified a little here for some more desirable results. take a peak at this link to the steering scrub article we posted https://forum.badlinesgoodtimes.com/threads/steering-scrub.685/
Generally we all start modifying our vehicles for our needs in accordance to what our budget allows. there is nothing wrong with mix matching links and leaf's front to rear other than a lack of performance at one end. look at the jeep xj, 05+ Ford Super duty, and 94+ Dodge and RAM trucks they...
Sorry for the delay guys, reducing the diameter of the resi, and keeping the same length ifp position and oil level would give you greater pressure gain as the shock compresses. this can be advantageous in SOME applications, generally we shoot for the largest nitrogen chamber possible to lessen...
the length of springs is really there to prevent coil bind at a given pre load and shock travel. if you want to engage your lower very early and you have a lot of up travel you need a lower spring that has enough travel in it to achieve that goal before blocking out, if you want to run on your...
we have a few customers running a 12/14 combo no real issues are present if everything is designed properly in some cases a non traditional spring set up is needed to prevent coil bind, but nothing you wouldn't see with a cantilever design
if your not gaining up travel from the modifications your not going to gain much performance, go for the c- notch its worth the investment, think about it this way if you have 6-7" of up travel right now and you get 3" more that's almost a 30-40% increase
Normally the spring manufacturers do not recommend going negative, if you do the spring material starts to fatigue quickly, kind of like a paper clip effect it work hardens a point and the spring becomes brittle and then cracks, i can see you have a bout .5" of shock shaft showing still and your...
with your corner force figuring out our desired rate is easy, looks like your math shows 1295CF sounds about right your 4.25" of droop sounds close but your saying your still a touch high so we will use 4.75" as your new droop number and add 2" for preload as a starting point,
(Droop +...
you actually tire bounced off that, a combo of bottoming out and coming off the tire squish that flutter mid stack isn't really doing you favors looks like you have plenty of weight in the back so lets see where your adjusters are at and let me know how much shaft is showing at ride height and a...
