My 2008 Rcsb With 4/7 Drop And Gm Oem 22's

[y2kz71]

Well I went back to lowered in April, being lifted got old jumping in and out...lol

 

I went with ground force spindles/coils for 4" front drop, rear is MCG 7" flip kit and I added Monroe air shocks for the back so I can have adjustability for towing/hauling loads (the shocks ride great). The tires are 285/45/22 Yokohama Parada Spec-X which is the stock size.

It looks good! I have a question about the air shocks. Can you still haul the same as you did before you lowered it?

[y2kz71]

well the leafs are stock and the air shocks are good for 120lbs of air. I have 45lbs just to drive around with. When I installed them I put 90lbs to check for leaks and it raised it almost 3". Im not sure of the payload but I imagine it is reduced. They sell air helper bags, but that kit is almost $400 without a compressor. In theory these work the same. I have a friend that has my same drop with air helpers and he tows a car trailer with his show truck and he claims no issues.

I may just have to look in to this. Thanks!!!

Heres where I mounted the air fill valve. Its convenient, easy to add/remove air and out of harms way.

Looks sweet! I like it much better lowered.

 

Great placement on the air fill valve!

Im not sure who makes the wheels, but they are GM factory wheels. They retail for like $600ea, but I lucked out and got the entire set for $700 brand new in box with GM part # on the side for all 4 wheels.
