I would really like to talk to you about the rear suspension setup you have on your truck. I have got to do something to help out on my traction woes and overall driveability. My current setup sucks, so if you could give me a little info(what parts, where to purchase, price, and maybe some pics), I would really appreciate it! Thanks, man.

Im not GMC SKI but I have talked to him alot about his rear suspension cause I am tearing my truck down tomorrow, 4-link w/ coil overs is one thing thats going on. I have a KP 4-link and panhard bar. QA1 coil overs, which he has Strange. And mounting brackets for the coil overs are from http://www.cachassisworks.com/ but he got his from Strange. I couldnt find the strage brackets. Those are the main components need. I havent put it on yet so I dunno the little problems you will run into. He could help you out more with that.

 

Ahh crap, I didn't know you need mounting brackets. You wouldn't happen to have the part number would you, from chassisworks?

Doing QA1's also

 

2tone, you got a link for that 4 link setup? I've been thinking about this, but I don't want to spend a fortune doing it and I'm not the best welder.

 

Is there welding required?

Jeremy,

Here's some info about GMC SKI's 4 link

http://www.kpcomponents.com/ for the 4 link. I dont have part #s i just called up there and told them what i need and they sent it to me for like $70 i think

 

Thanks,



Which Shocks did you go with?

Pat @ QA1 sold me on a 17in extended, 11 5/8's compressed # DR5855B. Gonna use a 300LB, 12 in. spring out back.

 

Awww man i cant remember now. I think it was a 14" shock with a 12" spring at 350lbs but that is cuase my truck is lowered 4" in the back

 

Well, I'll let this thread get back on topic. Sry Jeremy.

Be sure to tell us how it goes 2tone. I'll be very interested. Good luck with it.

Thanks.

 

No prob. Thanks for the link. I've got to come up with something. The trip to Greenville Saturday night proved I need some help bad! It never attempted to hook up and I ran a consistent 2.6 60ft all night! I lined up with a new TA and a new ss. They beat me bad to the hole shot, but I pulled hard on them every time. Just wasn't enough room to go by them. Really pissed me off!
