Suspension back together after a little Bo Bo
Betch you don't see this often??

I just got it all back together, and it's riding awesome
My new setup
Stan's 750 LBS Spring rate front coils
Energy Suspension Coil Spring Isolators-to make it sit like it did with my old hotchkis springs(I like a level truck
Hotchkis front sway bar
Hotchkis Bilstiens(at least for now- going to see if I can get a new set of front QA1's with the same body, but a 1" longer shaft)
The rear is back to stock, with QA1's for now. I haven't decided if I am going to install the rear Hotchkis sway bar. I want to race it with the stock sway bar for now and see how it launches. Of cource I will remove the front for drag racing.
Anyone with a high HP truck race with the rear Hotchkis Bar, or know how it compairs with the stock sway bar??
I have one more little change planed for the rear. I gave a hint the other day in a different thread. I wonder if anyone cought the hint??
The truck is handling and riding great. It soaks up the bumps a little better, and the stiffer sway bar keeps the front from leaning in the corners.
So right now I am a happy camper
