I like how it sits with the overloads out!


Truck looks great! I also recently added Caltracs and removed OL. I'm running the rancho 9000s as well. I like them but not 100% sure about them at the track, I've never had good luck with my suspension still trying to figure it out! This thread is helping me a lot!

They were placed as far forward as possible clamping the bottom overload to the other 4 leafs.


How much air in your bags?

QA1's are hard to beat. My CCSB has been 1.5-1.55 multiple times with all this other setup and qa1s. Others have been 1.4's with QA1's and CalTracs. Hard to beat them.

In coil over form or just the shocks?

Since Harbin brought up 60' times, I have been mid to upper 1.6 quite a few times with my truck with nothing more than a set of Rancho shocks set at 9 and spring clamps with the front dropped all the way down (bolts removed). This was on a set of half worn out 265/75 all terrains on factory aluminum wheels.

Dam maybe I need to ditch my Bilsteins. With Bilsteins, long bars, front dropped all the way, and 265/75 on pyos best I could get was 1.77

I cannot for the life of me figure out why the new guys are trying to completely re-invent the wheel here and argue about the things already done. Quite a few of us proved what works and what doesnt, depending on power level. Take where we started and add to it.
