Pretty sick in tired of the ride quality of the torsion bars, so I started researching a coilover setup. I ended up coming up with my own set of parts since no one makes a reasonable setup for the Chevy and mine is also 2WD.

Here is a parts list of what I used and as soon as I figure out why my J peg's won't download anymore. I will post pics of the finished product. THE RIDE IS SMOOTHER THAN MY NEW DENALI WAS.....

1. Pro Comp 690001 Shock adapters
2. 2 QA1 DS501 shocks (adjusted to +7)
3. Hyperco 2.5 X12" 850lb springs
4. 1/4" shims to keep lifted ride height

I have 475.00 in this set up.

 

awesome!! need pics asap!!

 

This is going to be a popular once you get pictures up!!!

In for results

 

hmmm.... once i see the pics i might very well be doing this

 

Pics please. I was considering doing the same but I dont think the upper shock mount is strong enough to hold up the weight of the truck.

 

In for pics also!

 

Awesome!

I've heard of this mod and would love to do it to my dmax !!!

In for pics.

 

pics of parts I used. I had to chop off the useless bump stop and mount. You also have to trim the lip of the UCA for slight clearance for coil spring.

I have an Eibach part number (1200-250-1000) for 1000lb springs for the diesel trucks. They are cheaper than the Hyperco's. Get the QA1 DS502 shocks for the bearing mounts. The DS501's come with a wimpy bushing that WILL NOT hold ANY weight. I made solid bushings for my 501's.

 

Got pic's of it installed on the truck ???
