Another lift question

Damooch · April 25, 2018

I recently installed CCM 3” level lift in my 17 2500hd. Installed shock spacers, diff spacer, 2” blocks in back. Now every time I go over a bump the rear sounds like crap. Bad banging like there’s no shocks. Safe to assume the shock is now too long for any downward travel. There’s like no bounce. Do I need new shocks for rear. Meaning longer travel shocks. Thank you for any help in this matter.

I think you mean the travel in the suspension is longer thank your shock? I would agree with that. I would also make sure you’re torqued down appropriately.

Yes. I believe that’s what I mean. I’m not too wavy in this area. First time lifting a truck. Safe to assume I need longer shocks then. Thank you for your reply.

How do you like that ccm level kit? I ask because I'm thinking about buying the same kit.

I like it. Very sturdy. Came with shock spacers and differential spacers.

Hey, do you have picture of your truck from the nose looking down the side.

Not at the moment. I can do it when in get home from work.

Truck looks good, man. And yes, I'd say you need longer shocks, or something in the rear wasn't torqued properly when the rear blocks were installed.

Side note, what's your tire & wheel setup?

Wheels are Fuel Beast 18x9. -18 offset. Tires are Goodyear duratracs 285/75/18. Love the Duratracs. It’s what I run on my Jeep.

Sweet. Looks like the -18 offset works perfect with your fender flares. And I like that 285/75/18 size. Pretty cool to have a 35" tire without having to go super wide.

You wouldn't think 2"s would top out the shock but maybe, I would certainly climb under there and make sure it's all tight, especially the u bolts, after a few miles they will settle and may be lose now. Center pin on leaf pack is in its place in the block. The shocks will leak pretty quick if they are being yanked on. Jack the truck up and see how much travel you have, Jack it from the frame so it is allowed to extend fully.
