Nice!! I was going to ask how much ride height adjustablity there was. I love the stance you have your truck at but dont think id want to go quite that low.

Luke, your truck's stance is about perfect for a drag racer. Makes me think I should just put the 1/2 ton body on the donor truck and run that....:rofl:
Heres a launch video on 20psi. Front end seperates and CV angles are at stock position. No flying parts just yet. :roflmao:

Looks sweet:thumb:
Doesn't look like your boost hit 20psi before you let off the brake though
20 is a pretty big number to have on the gauge with your foot on the brake, and it take a little more fuel and time to get there...
The suspension looks like it is working friggin awesome though, nice weight transfer and really smooth, nice work man, really nice :hug:

Is it just me or does your hood open really wide?
oh and truck looks very nice:thumb:
It's in the "mechanic position" or what ever its called. The hood has an extra set of holes to open it up fully. The hood can't move in this position but makes working on it nice and easy
Oh yeah, that'll work! Weight seems to transfer pretty well, too. Where's the video from the GoPro?
Console I got off eBay and the seats I stole out of my SS, had kirkeys to go in it but never got around to a cage... And thanks, so far I love them too!
Weight transfers nice, I want to stiffen the front shocks up some and put some air in the bags and see if I can get it to hit the rear tires harder, but I'll have time for that later. I'll get the gopro vid up later, probably Monday. I've got to play school catchup tomorrow.
I am very interested in the rear mounted air bags and brackets. I would like to lower my truck, but can't do to bump stop mounted air bags. This set- up looks great. What are the weight rating on the helper bags?
Thanks! And you should get one! RC/LB are the best!
It's a 267c bag, rated at 2140lbs each. I'm looking into having some brackets cut, but I will have to see...
A couple pictures from the launch testing, and one with the "executive"
I really like the look of your truck, just not sure about the cv angels seeing how I will launch in 4 x 4. Wonder if I did djm spindles and control arms it would help.
Spindle drop would put it to low, but the djm arms might not be a bad idea if they can support the coilover, I posted a vid in the previous page of a 20psi 4x4 launch, and I did 4 or 5 total that afternoon and no issues. I really think everyone is fretting about the angle a bit much, it's only 15* and a CV axle can handle upwards of 30*. Maybe if your making 1000hp I could be an issue? But it's a non issue for me.
Well, atleast with a starting negative CV angle, you don't need to worry about it getting any worse LOL. I think the CV angle fear is moreso of them overextending like I did on my LBZ because of the parts I used.
As requested! and I may have a few more later this week, along with all the technical data as promised from before.
Same 20psi 4x4 launch from before

haha yeah, being lowered has so many advantages :thumb: I think we found a winner with these coilovers; especially if you dont want to go this low, everything should stay within spec.
