Default Suspension upgrade help.


been trolling the site for a long tjme and this is my first post. Finaly worked out all the kinks in the AWD platform im running but needing to go further. While i know it will never be vette with a bed im trying to get as close as i can yet still have a usable truck. Looking at torsion bar delete to coil overs and gearbox swap to rack and pinion. Ive seen kits for the coilovers but what about the gearbox? Currently running the awd platform with the factory 4 link rear suspension from a Denali.


Work in progress

Depending on what vette you are comparing to the truck can be much faster

I make the brackets for the coilover swap on the 4wd/awd stuff so I can help with that. Not sure what you mean by the gear box, do you mean the front diff or transfer case? Either are agnostic of the suspension. The CVs only get bitchy if you go super super low or high.

How much power are you looking to make and how much do you want to drop it?

Currently I am dynoed at 407 at the wheels. Want to retune because I think we left some power out but it's a pain because I have to swap transfer case every time I do so I can go 2wd. Still thinking about turbo but have no desire to pass 600whp. The gear box I'm speeking of is the ps gear box. Wanted to know if there is a rack and pinion swap. I like the stance of my truck now and don't want to go any lower. I running 2" drop spindles and lowered the torsion bars.
