Right now I'm just running a schrader valve to fill the bags, but I have an airlift load controller, just haven't finished the install.

 

did you have to adjust your pinion angle?

 

So I finally installed the Monroe shocks today. The ride was getting really bad with the shocks I had on there, couldn't take it anymore. After scratching my head about the bushing sleeve size I just took a 14mm bolt (spare in case it got damaged) and ran it through a shock in the vice with my impact. Once it grabbed it ran right through with no problems so I repeated this with the stock bolts and shocks on the truck and it worked fine, threads weren't chewed badly or anything. I wouldn't install these shocks if you don't have access to an impact wrench though.

So the ride is now almost stock no rattles or jarring. I've tried drop shocks from DJM, belltech, summit/doetsch tech and there is no comparison to these Monroes.


I have the slight 55-60mph vibration, I have a belltech trans spacer on the way though. I'll let you know how that affects it, heard good reports.

 

Thanks for the tip on the monroe shocks bud!

Your truck looks sick!

 

I concur on the DJM shocks sucking!!! I going to give bilstien a call on monday and see if they offer a replacement shock for my ride hieght

 

x1 ive dropped my rcsb 2-2.5 in the rear and i can already tell the difference in the ride .i ordered set of bags for it so i can pull a trailer but plan on lowering it to a 2/4 or further not sure yet thatsdown the road a yr or two great info on the shocks man.. i like the color of your pickup looks good with the way it set up

 

I have a 2012 crew cab silverado 2×4 drop belltech, with belltech street performer shocks which are terrible shocks. I'm also looking to hear more about your monroe fitting and the relocaters you used?
