Thumper..

few questions

any word from rize or king about coiloverS?
also about a new driveshaft?

and i remembered that CST offers Fox Coilovers for our truck to use with their 8" lift. No reason why they wouldnt work on our Rize kits right?

Rize told me to contact King. King hasn't answered my emails yet.

Rize told me they don't make a driveshaft nor does their truck look like mine. I asked them to send me a picture of their driveshaft, so Im waiting on that email as well. Joe's driveshaft looks the same as well. If you could take a picture of yours, so I can send it to Rize in my next email.

The coilovers might work but Joe is concerned they won't clear the tie-rods. Im not sure, so we'll see what happens.

hey pat look at this pic. see how high the tie rods are? that is 8" up from the lower a arm, so thi thin part of the coilover needs to be higher then that i think becaus if the coilspring starts lower i dont think there is enough room.

not sure how much different the placement of them are, check out the pic i posted above and compare it to yours for us. as far as the way it works u can see in the pic the tierod is conected to bracket wich goes all the way across to the other wheel where the other tie rod attaches and this slides on a roller bearing in a track for a very smooth effortless feel.

It's not that it bothers me, it's that people need to learn how to follow rules..
