i was told by someone on the forum that if you go past 37 in tires you want to go to a straight axle well my question is how would i go about doing that whats the cost????


another question is i want to get rid of the stock coils and shock in the front and do a dual shock kit how much would that be i have the 8 in rize????and is that possible..

one more...is it possible to go to shocks in the rear and get rid of the blocks and leaf springs...i am young and curious about all of this i want a custom one off truck that you wont see anywere else...

any input is very much aprreciated

 

nice truck

 

thanks alot i appreciate it

 

I'm no expert so I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.

There are a handful of members on here that have taller than 37" tires that don't have a straight axle. I've only ever seen one member convert to a solid axle, and it was pretty expensive.

As far as the shocks up front you can get the King coilover's.

And here's some pictures of dirt_bound's truck. Look's sick in person.

 

were did you get those pics from do you work at s n m truckworld...just curious...thanks for the compliment

 

I just happened to be there the day they finished your truck and I thought it looked awesome sitting there. S&M turns out some quality stuff.

 

you can run tall tires with ifs... I run 37" and I know guys that run 39's I run king coils overs in the front but for a dual shock I just know of guys running a coil over with a bypass(shock). check out jdfabrication.com they haven't updated the web site in along time but you can call them..

and for the rear you need a 3 link or a 4 link if you want to get rid of the leaf springs . real common in the pre-runner, chase truck , race truck community. I think I will be doing that

 

rs beach bum thanks i aprreciate the comments on my truck and all the others for helping me out with my questions

 

37's probably will make a chew toys out of your cv's eventually. but then again u can upgrade them and your weakpoint will move somewhere else! especially if ya run locked and/or gobs of power.

 

when you say 3 or 4 link suspension i no what it is but i cant find it for my truck if anyone can tell me how much it would run to get that done or what website i can go to

 

I don't think there are any kits. You will have to find a shop that does custom fabrication.

 

hey another question does rize offer traction bars like they have for the superduty the ladder bars

 

traction bars are actually similar to what linking does... linking is just far superior. I have upgraded my cv's to 934's I had 930's ( still have them in my garage).

 

the SAS would be damn expensive, and only the way to go if you plan on really pushing your truck's limits.

37" tires and up, like said, can make chew toys out of your front CV's. You can upgrade them but know, gunna have to pay to play.

As far as getting rid of your rear block, I wouldn't go with a linked system unless, again, your planning on really pushing your truck. I think a company called BST or something similiar sells custom leaf packs. That would do the trick. I also know DEAVER leafs would make you some custom leaf springs, with the proper lift, so you could lose the blocks. ALso, if you have a huge wallet, I know RIZE sells a coilover system for our trucks. Thing looks sweet, but I bet it costs an arm and a leg.

King makes quality coil-overs and other shocks. Also look into Sway-A-Way (personal favorite)

I don't know of a dual shock kit for our trucks, but they really are not needed. They are generally for looks anyway and costs a good chunk of money. Up front, one coilover per side is more then fine.

here ya go:

i chose alcan leafs for my truck.

oh hey i got a question, how well does a 4link hold up to hauling weight like a cabover camper or heavy trailers?
