for the rear.......you obviously want to have the truck lower, because it looks good right??
BUT.... it rides like ass.......solution??? look at the front of the overload leaf, go back 2" from the front, and drill a 3/8 hole in the center of the leaf. get some energy suspension bump stops, and install them in this hole. by doing this you are engauging the overload sooner, under hard compression (big bump) the overload will actually be used.
under all but 1% of daily uses sy/ty's never use the overload, period.
by doing this you are allowing the overload to do it's job sooner.
now dont get me wrong,...under normal circumstances (small road bumps) the truck wont be riding on these, it is just for bigger bumps.
if you like this but want it to engauge even sooner, add one to the rear side of the overload.
you can also tune engaugement with bump stop height. energy suspension sell's different height bump stops.
another side effect is the truck will plant the tires harder on a boost launch.
i have had this done to my syclone for a year now, and absolutetly love it. no more bottoming out (i have 2" blocks, plus the factory wedge.
pics......
here you go.......
easy as pie..
these are the rubber bumpers that i used, then lopped 1/2 of them off. they are a lakewood traction bar replacement bumper, from summit, or jegs.
use these if you want less.
box and part # for the red ones.....enjoy
