Yes the inside is correct. That piece is relatively thin and there is some leeway in the shock so the outside measurement will usually suffice for the purpose of picking out a shock and spring.

 

I need to do this and do a shock relocate in the rear. Although the new Bilsteins and DJM sway bar I added helped the back end big time.


Also I feel like this is a good thread to ask in. What bumpstops are you all using in the front? Mine look all blown out and rotted and ever since I lowered the front it squishes down hard on them.

 

I cut off the stock ones and mounted some universal ones. I drilled through the pad on the LCA and mounted them upside down I guess. Part number ENS-9-9101G

 

Got the truck aligned today. They were able to get the alignment almost perfect. When i installed the kit i installed the 3 degree camber kit. The truck also has 2" drop spindles. The final ride height of the front fender is 29 3/4".
I installed Atomics new style upper mounts and the lower mounts. I also installed all new energy suspension poly bushing on the front end.

The trucks ride is amazing with the new coilovers. I have the shocks set to 10 for normal driving. The coil spring is 1200#. Its much more responsive, rather than the sloppy ride of the torsion bars. I hated the way the truck rode after the drop kit. Decranking the torsion bars makes for a terrible ride.

Here is the alignment print out. He said the right side is a touch off but not its not noticeable at all driving.Thanks again

 

Glad you like it and thanks for the feedback!

Do you have any pics of them installed?

 

Im loading them right now. Not sure why it keeps showing the picture sideways??? It never did that before.

 

Here are a few. The picture of the truck is bad.... it was filthy from cleaning the frame up.

 

Thanks for the pics! Everything looks so clean underneath haha

I updated my PDFs to include details on the lifted-style upper mounts. This is the same document as before with some additions to include more information.

Just washed it so I could post a few ride height pics. 29.75" to the front fender.

 

One more.
