How are those Mickey Thompson tires doing at your power level?

the mickey’s are really doing great on the street. Pretty much zero spin so far and i feel more confident getting on it going under 60 mph. I drove in some light rain and i will never do it again. That being said i cant wait to go to the track. I wanted to ask you where you bought those tie rod end links?

the spindle is a belltech, the coilovers are the ridetech HQ series made for 99-06 silverado/ sierra designed as a strong arm package i could not find any info on the coil rate but the part# is 11383510.

Not 20's but you get the idea.

255/55/18 tires
Spindles
Coils - removed 1/2 coil on each side
Front shocks - Best Monroe's Autozone had for a '78 impala with BB
Belltech swaybar - the big one
Shorter endlinks

5 leafpak in rear (came from a 1500HD)
cnotch
Rear shocks - Air shocks from a '83 C10 with 125psi
Hellwig adjustable on full tight

It rides very nice.

Ridetech has that info in their install instructions. Going by the part number you posted they show them to be 10" x #800. If you wanted to verify that, hypercoil puts the part number on the spring and it should end in something like 10B0800. RT may have a sticker on the spring with their part number: 59100800, as well.

That's good to know, I went with a 10" 850lb spring on my viking coilovers. Haven't quite got the ride as nice as I would like, still very bouncy.

On the tie rod ends, I will message the guy and see if he would make another set for you
