Hey all,

Just bought this truck 2 weeks ago, its a 2006 RCSB V8.
Really like it but rides like hammered dookie lol.
Already got the bed sprayed with Line X Premium and windows tined with Llumar Ceramic CTX film.

Previous owner installed a 3/6 drop. 3" springs up front and rear Flip Kit with DJM C Notch and Nitro Drop shocks.

I will be replacing the drop with the following.

McG's 2" Spindles and Belltech 2" Springs
Belltech Flip Kit and C Notch.
Belltech Shock Extenders.
Belltech Street Performance Shocks all around.


Im hoping I can replace the current DJM notch with the Belltech. The design just looks so much more robust. Plus the DJM one is already starting to show a bit of rust. Has anyone ever switched C Notch kits? Im guessing more holes would need to be drilled ;(

 

Unfortunately, I've never found the shock extenders to do much once you are at 6" drop in the back. That much drop lays the shock over so much that it really becomes useless. It'll work, but it will be far from ideal.

If you have the ability to relocate the rear shocks it will totally transform the truck in regards to ride quality. Also, if you are a big power truck, it will greatly improve traction and stability as well.

If you don't have the ability to do this fabrication yourself and are near the Houston area I can help you out. I've done shock relocation on several trucks (including my own at one time) and would be willing to help you out.

 

There are weld in shock relocate kits, you need to talk to atomic to get correct length shocks

 

If you are interested in doing coilovers in the front for a great ride and adjustability I make a few kits for the 4wd and 2wd kits that are compatible with aftermarket spindles. I am also a dealer for Viking shocks and can get you a good deal on shocks.

 

I wasn't sure I could run coilovers up front, that would be my ideal way to drop it! Can I run them with the McG's 2" spindles?

 

Man that's really generous of you! I'm in the Fort Worth area but travel to Houston often!

 

Don't forget about the Chevy lean.

 

Yes, you can keep your drop spindle, and that is actually preferred for more than 2" of drop since it lets you run a longer shock.

 

If you get the right length coilovers.....

 

I can also fix the "chevy lean" as well.
