Darth_Vader What size rear wheel is that?

 

RT

[Darth_Vader]

17x9.5, designed for GM trucks but doesn't fit this body style without a 1/4" spacer. Until the small brake kit goes on for a 15".

 

 

I'm getting my rear Vikings soon. And I found a bolt in coil over mount for the front so I'll be getting viking up front as well

Got a link to the mount? Edited March 9, 2017 by Darth_Vader

Can you link me to what spacer ? And can you.get a closet picture of the banjo bolt with your wheels. I want to see how far away it is

[Darth_Vader]

Something like this is what I used. Might be awhile on the pic, I'm too old to crawl under this truck, lol.

And I'm almost positive there's a 15 wheel kit for your truck. 1320 makes it. Uses a smaller disc and an s10 caliper I'm not remember right

I didn't have time to read through all the pages.

 

I've got a 2016 1500 crew cab 4x4. Looking for a 2/4 or 3/5 drop. Don't want to mess with the driveline. Does not appear to much out in the marketplace. I do want to be able to tow and would prefer a bag setup in the rear. Anyone have any input? TIA.

1/4 or 2/5. With towing at bolt in mcg helpers. You won't know about driveline angles until the kit is installed

You are correct, they make the brackets, the rest is easily sourced equipment.

I have a 2/4 Belltech kit for sale if you're interested.

I noticed this today. Looks like I need to pull the shafts and have it shortened

Help me out here, what am I supposed to be seeing?

Got a shot of the QA1's last weekend. Had to use a couple of washers and grind down a bit off the mount so it wouldn't hit on the bottom but you get the idea. I'm running about 4 on the setting and it matches the McG's up front well. I prefer them at a 3 or 4 but the back gets too soft. I'll eventually switch the front to QA1 coilovers.

Darth- do you have a part number? I've got my factory shocks with extenders for my 5" drop and it rides ok, but I want to be prepared for when they blow out.

Had the same problem, thus why I went with the aluminum aftermarket unit, go ahead and replace that output seal as it will start leaking soon.

I used the TS709 (S being single adjustment, TD709 is dual) but I highly suggest you measure your compression and stroke to verify that they are in the same range. The TS709's are 19.5" extended, 12.8" compressed.
