Well, since no one seems to like the ride of their 2-4 drop, I'm thinking maybe a 4-link. Stylin' Concepts says they can sell the Air Ride kit w/out the bags. ~$360 for triangular ~$450 for lateral. Then some coilovers should be pretty good. Would the coilovers ride nearly as good as the bags? I've heard that it's a lot better than stock. This would also be a lot better at the track.

 

Couple guys are running 4 links on the boards...

Look for KP components 4 link setup

 

12sec.5.3, at 12.81 you're already the quickest "N/A-non N20" 5.3L on the forum...next closest 5.3 to you is a 13.52. That's quite an accomplishment, you should send an email to Parish8 and get your truck on the list! Who knows where you'll be with a better suspension.

As for a better ride, I obviously need to look into coilovers or airbags...the 3" drop coils on my Yukon are back breakers.

They don't sell a coil over kit with this, you have to do that yourself. I can't remember where GMC SKI got his done now.

there are some pic's of gmcski's rear, he had to work out the coilover set up himself.

 

Let's hope thats the rear of his truck and not 'his rear'. I've been wondering about Parish .. now I guess we know.

His setup does look very nice. I've thought about this too and have been wondering, but I'm not going to do it if it's to much.

 

Havent we all ....

 

Good one!

GMC SKI, how much did it cost for the whole 4-link setup?

 

get fast bags in the rear then wire a soleniod for them to the back side of the gas pedal for it to dump at full throttle and a arm switch so it will only work when you want it to. that should transfer weight pretty good for launch. but you need the fast bag system or you'll just waste youe money couse they won't dump fast enough. the fast bag was design to work like hydralic speeds but ride like a bag. just an idea i've wanted to do but i have 4wd.

 

Everything cost me about $900 all said and done plus labour
it's a bout a good days install
I did it without taking the bed off what can i say I'm lazy
the biggest pain was gettin the rivets out from the stock hangers
