coil springs

[timgco]

I have a full set of coils for you. THey are off an 06. Send me a PM with an offer and your zip and I'll figure out shipping.

The swap has been done on stock height trucks before also. I'm not sure on all parts needs, but I think PhilD may have this information tucked away somewhere.

Thanks guys, i have had too many issues and it is time to move on to coils, I think i will stick however to stock hight as i already have drivetrain vibration and believe it is from the drive shaft area.
How do you overcome drivetrain vibration problems when installing a lift kit?.

Some have had custom drivesahafts done.

I have the Rnacho 4" kit with no driveshaft vibration at all.

The Fabtech kit comes with new shafts I think.


BTW- I have stock height coil springs only. You'll still have to purchase the other parts seperate.

I understand that there is a differance in the shocks with the off road package or without, i take it the off road package is the air ride so that would mean i need shocks as well.
Anyone know what the diff in the shocks are, i read in one of the threads that the shocks are gas charged at 300psi and im sure that was for air ride units.

Me either untill i checked with the dealer

If I remember correctly the only difference in shocks was the airspring stock shock had a little more extension lenght. This was due to the airspring extra extension when you pushed the button to raise the rear of the truck offroad.

Be advised that the only thing that retains the coil spring in place is the shock at full suspension droop. Use a shock that has too much extension (or break a shock) and the coilspring can unseat and fall out at full droop.
I run limit straps as an added saftey incase of a broken shock, don't want to go chasing a spring down the trail.
