I was in a totally terrible mood today until I got home about ten minutes ago . Now I feel like a little kid on Christmas. I just couldnt open the boxes fast enough. The mail man dropped by today with my Doetsch lift kit. Now I am freakin excited
There she is

2" lift coils with 3" blocks and U-bolts.

3.5" lift spindles!!

It came with new DTS3000 series shocks all the way around and I ordered steering stabalizers as well. I was trying to take pictures of them but my camera died... at this point.. I dont care about the stupid camera.

 

you had better do a write up so I can do this after my supercharger!!!! how much it cost ya for the kit?

 

After shipping and extra stuff I ordered I would say that I spent around $900.

 

I also must say that the lady that I talked to at doetsch(carol) was very nice and got my order done pretty quickly. I placed my order on monday night and its ALREADY here on Friday morning... thats great shipping.

 

double post

 

thats not too bad. you going to sell your stock stuff? that will return some cash im sure. how much were just the shocks? Id probably use mine since I dont even have like 1000 miles on them.

 

I am going to sell my stock stuff yes. I have no idea how much just the shocks are.. I think its like $200 for a set of four. All I know is that I was told that you have to have shocks made for lift when you are using lift coils because if not the stock ones WILL break.

 

sweet man. get out and get that stuff on so i can see how it looks. and i am jealous haha

 

hell yeah!

 

Nice, have to take pics when your done though

 

I am going to take alot of them. Its going on tomorrow.. and I cant wait!

 

Those coils are going to make your truck ride horrible. My ride is bad right now, and i got 2.5" lift coils.

 

One of mine was broken with out lift coils, I dont know if it will for sure break though.

 

Hmm never heard about that. I knew they would be stiffer but its a truck not a Cadillac. What kinda UCA's are you running?? That might be why you are having trouble with them. 2.5" is destroying your whole suspension if you dont have aftermarket UCA's. Hell mine might even be tight on the ball joints, but I am thinking about just ordering the Doetsch UCA's if its too bad... no big deal.

Oh and where are the pics of your truck with the lift coils?? You have been telling us about this stuff you are doing but I cant find where you are putting the pictures . I have had a shock break too, but it was over ten years old. These new shocks are pretty nice though.. dont see them being a problem and Doestch is known for ride quality in all their lift kits.

 

I didn't know you got new shocks. Mine were only 9 . I can't find my camera anywhere for pictures. My stock UCA's are fine, they are at a great angle. I think its because my shop was lazy and wouldn't put my Procomp lift shocks in just because the bottom piece was too wide. (easy drill out) So they put on stock sized Monroes so they are fully extended. :/
