softer suspension????

[TOWRIG]

I currently have a 6inch RCD lift with Fox 2.0 shocks the ride is horrible looking for a way to make the ride a little more tolerable with out loosing my lift and spending thousands ....

how far are the bars cranked up??? and shock valving

 

[TOWRIG]

no idea i bought the truck with the lift already on there ..... but from looking at the torsion key bolts the look almost fully cranked .. But if i lower them my tires will rub since they already do that now when i crank the wheel left or right

 

[trevrosborough]

well i would bet on it being from the bars cranked but there is not much you can do then unless u want to do some triming or a diffrent offset on the rims not to much you can do 35s on it right now???

Your truck have the snow plow prep package on it?

Sulastic rubber shackles get my vote for a little help in the rear end. Fox shocks (IMHO) Yield a "firmer" ride than bilstiens, i have ran both the 5100's and the 2.0 emulsion shock, and the 5100's are softer. You will have to do some trimming, relax the t-bars 1 1/2 turns (or more) and possibly get some other shocks, bilstiens and sulalstic shackles should cost 200 and 450, and thlat should give you a much more comfortable ride

Again, just my humble opinion

Iirc, RCD lifts are really only a true 4.5" lift, food for thought

Anyone ever try softer torsion bars? I'm having the same issues and wondering how to soften it up.

Dropping the bars and sulastics will help a ton. However, you will have to trim to get those tires to fit. If you don't drop the bars your ride will not improve.

I run my t bars almost all the way down and pulled the overload plus one full leaf. I paired that setup with Bilstein 5100s from NorCal and it rides amazing. I did have to do some minor fender trimming to fit my 33s with the lowered stance.
