im in for a set

 

Bumpstops can help out more than you would imagine. I'd try to keep them in place If you could, especially with more expensive parts you don't want to accidentally fully extend or compress while driving hard. If they are in the way, you could probably use a smaller universal bumpstop. I picked up a pair of cone shaped Energy suspension brand stops for $25 shipped to my door and I live in the middle of nowhere.

If you don't think they do anything, go out and buy the Z71 stops from the 08.5+ 2500HD's. I used to think more travel was the only answer to a good ride, but it's all about suspension control with these big beasts, unless you're planning on doing some chasing or racing with it.

P.S: I just assumed your truck was a 2500+ truck, If it isn't, disregard the Z71 bumpstop aspect of my post

 

I messed around with the shock settings tonight and the difference in ride available with the settings is pretty huge. Granted this was done very scientifically by bouncing on the bumper.

 

Finished my set today, more for sale coming soon (the top and bottom brackets)!

 

this looks awesome. i had this idea in my head for a few years just never had the time to do anything with it. pm me when your ready to give out a price. can't wait to hear how these ride.

 

how much for a set of brackets? are they bolt on or no? its hard to tell from the pics.

 

Looks like it's a bolt in deal. I like the way he didn't just rely on the factory shock bracket. Bolting to the frame also, spreads the load out. Nice pieces! I actually bought a lower control arm from a salvage yard to mock up the brackets, but have been out of town, and haven't had a chance to get to it.

 

I'm very interested in the top mount. I got too much crap on my plate to get the time to try and cut plates myself...plus the lower mounts wouldn't work for my 2500HD.

 

Thanks guys, I should have a few sets of lowers ready by next week, the uppers will take longer.

 

Are those coils the 8" 1000lb Hypercoils?
