socaldatsun Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Those are exactle the ones I used on mine. Pulled the torsions. cut off the top shock mount and welded on Beebani brackets. What brake set up is that? Using bee'S brackets? They work awesome Jamie Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 First off it looks good,how much did you drop the back and how do you have the coil overs cranked,up or down to get that drop up front. Quote Link to comment

haubstr Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I actually have it up as high as it can go in the front. The top bracket was welded on to high. I can lower it about 2" front the coil over adjustment, but I can't because the long tube header will drag the ground. The back I lowered about 5 inches by taking apart the leaf pack and flipping the main leaf over. I want to put some 1" blocks in the back to bring it down a hair more. I have 3" and 4" DJM kits if anybody local wants to trade for a 1" kit. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Wow i would love to help you out but i am good right now.so the truck looks good and dont take this the wrong way but what tires are you running because it looks to me like you can go lower on the rear.I love the front drop i have 17's up front and 18's in the rear.And you said it rides better then the before with the coil over.I hope.lol Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Im not a huge fan of laying frame trucks or gold for that matter but i just loved this truck at the SEMA show. Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 it looks to me like you can go lower on the rear. I'm in the same boat probably, I'm right below the frame. Bump-O-Rama right now until I get a few things installed. Quote Link to comment

I'm running 205/40/16 on right now. I also have the 17" Escalades I'm waiting for tires (204/40/17) to put on. It does ride a little better with the coil over setup. It handles like it is on rails. My problem is that I still have a bench seat and I'm sliding around everywhere. Jamie 1 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I would just like to make this public apology to Beebani for ranting about the coil over brackets not being cut right and not fitting and so forth when he did clearly state to get the 1/2 bearing type collars ,and there for its not his fault but all my fault and for that I am sorry.I guess i was to excited to order them when he sent me the link from Summit and i did not even bother to read the all post's he sent me and when they did not fit i was angry with him when i should of been angry with myself for not paying attention.So again i want to apoligize for giving Beebani a hard time and for that i will truly read all my posts again from any body to make sure i understand what i need or they need thats for sure so i dont do this again.And again i am sorry and for the record the brackets were perfect and the quality and craftsmanship are fantastic and other then my stupidity get the bearing collars and they will bolt up real nice.Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment
