Was just looking into suspension parts for my truck so I can lower my 60ft. And was wondering if anyone has converted to coilovers in the rear. I would like to know if it would drop 60ft times at all or just a waste of time. And if you know of a good spring rate to begin with that would be great. Heres the kit I was looking at.

You will need a link setup to go along with that. If everything is adjustable and you spend the time to dial it in, it will definitely help.

 

That will get you started. As stated, you will also need to fab a 4-link or ladder bar suspension. I have read a thread in the projects section, you might look there for ideas.

 

Will caltracs count as ladders bars? Or would I need somthing that was connected the bar that the upper part of the coil over was mounted to. Ima look in projects and see what I can dig up.

 

How much power your making??? Cal tracs and good shocks should get you where you want

 

Cal-tracs work with leaf spring suspensions. If you go to coil-overs, you will be removing the leaf spring suspension completely, and building everything new.

 

Just a Maggie at 5psi on a 4.8. But I want to see how far a good suspension will take me b4 I crank the boost.

 

There are a lot of fast trucks using Cal-tracs with leaf springs. I'm waiting for next spring to get here so I can dial-in my suspension.

 

I know theres alot of fast truck with Cal's. But I wanna try to see how far a good suspenison will take be with the same setup I have. Yah ima wait till next summer to do mine.

4link

Think that 4 link and the QA1 setup should workout ok.

 

Imo I would save some money, headaches and opt for the cali bars.. Then if that doesn't work then sell them off and do your thing.. Not trying to come off like a *******, but that 4.8 isn't going to tell you how good the 4 link is as it won't be getting 1.6 60ft with that engine set up... You kinda get what im saying??? There are guys running slicks and no susp work getting bad *** 60 fts. why spend the money if you don't have to...
