Have you talked with Proformance diesel at all? If there's a shorter coilover setup their kit would probably work with it. It's just control arms and a new shock tower.

Look in Coker's pulling thread....he and Josh H just put a set on his competition truck. The setup looks good.

Anybody know of any available? Or know of any company that would put together a set?



At min you will be 2-3” lower than stock but the setup won’t hold for daily driving. You will not be able to get stock height nor will you be able to get longevity out of them. That is assuming you want a bolt in setup.

If you cut the stock frame mount out, everything changes.

Plan on talking with Pro-Formance if nobody has info on anything.

I don’t mind cutting the stock frame mount off and welding up a new one if that’s the only way to get a quality set up. 2-3” below stock height is where I want to be.

Yeah, I saw the set up Coker has on his truck. Definitely interested in seeing how he likes it.

Those shocks don’t hold up to dding. It’s been covered many times here.

Proformace would be the best for what your after

Looks like a good set up. I take it that’s on a lifted application?

Any pics of lower control arm? And how shocks mount?

They dont show the lca specifically in any pics. They sell a handy lower shock mount though. It is a direct replacement for the oem one but uses the correct size bolt and centering bushings for the afco coilover

those pics show a factory lower arm and i would bet a stem to eye adapter for the coilover on the left side of the pic to then bolt into the old factory sway bar location on the arm.

On our sled puller we made a plate that bolted down using the sway bar link hole as well as the lower shock mount threaded bolt holes. We then used proformance pros lower mount I mentioned earlier. We only ran 1 coilover and used the other side(front) of the plate for suspension stop.
If you look close, it appears as proformance did the plate deal in those pics, just mounted a 2nd lower shock bracket.
