I have an 00SingleCabSilvy and want to put a 2-4 drop on it before that I just installed a brand new set of drop 2 shock from Belltech.The newest and most improved yet, the salesman from stylin concepts said they're an awesome ride and night and day over stock. Let me just say I can't drive with anything in my cup holder or else it will be all over me and the inside of my truck. The shocks are extremly rough and It feels like I have no suspension at all. I'm taking them off and searching for new ones. Any suggestions?

 

ias or doestech (sp?) sounds like more than a shock problem tho, almost like your bottoming out, did you trim your bumpstops?

 

Good point!

 

Send them to me, I need a set of fronts!

 

why cant you just use the stock shocks???

 

If you're talking about with a 2/4 drop. Yes technically it will work, but the travel over your suspension is physically 2" shorter than stock. I ran stock shocks for a little bit and the ride suffered big time just because they bottom out quite a bit and because the shocks aren't valved to accomodate 2" of drop.

 

Wait, if I read the post correctly, you say that you want to install a 2/4 drop but installed the drop shocks first?? Did you lower the truck or just install the shocks...am I missing something??

If you installed drop shocks on the factory ride height, the ride will not feel normal, and you may damage a shock...

 

I damaged a shock doing that exact same thing!!

I sold my 2" drop coils but kept my 2" drop shocks and 3 months later I blew one(surprise surprise).

 

yeah those drop shocks are meant to ride great at a certain height. thats why they have stock, 2",4", and 6" drop shocks that are meant for those lengths. drop the truck 4 inches before you put those shocks on.

 

thats like liftin your truck 4"s in back and trying to run the stock shocks, you cant do that

im runnin my stock shocks with my 2/4 drop and have been for about 2 months, pretty bumpy ride none the less lol i gotta get some drop shocks
