ill take one tomorrow. i also just talked to my buddy and he said 35' inch tires messes up the trannys and that i should go 33' inch tires insted. true or what?

i have the truck levled with Ready Lift torsion keys, Procomp shocks upfront and Bilsteins in the rear,along with the Roadmaster active suspenison in the rear, rides awesome, used to have wheel hop/axel wrap real bad before the roadmaster springs where isntalled, not now, no more hop. Trucks rear looked the same to me, didnt notice it any higher.

 

[fannitti]

what do u have 35' inch tires and why did u go with two differant shocks is there a reason. im only asking because im planning on doing all this and im trying to get ideas and such.

The rear height did not change when I installed mine. Did you have the leaf springs loaded when you did the install and have you adjusted tension on the roadmaster springs as per the directions?

 

[fannitti]

i did everything that they said im gonna post pics with anf with out the roadmaster maybe im seeing things let me know

 

[fannitti]

ok here are the pics the first one is WITH OUT the road master and the second one is with it.

Looks like it is a little higher now. Have you tried adjusting the springs back where the allen fitting is to release some of the pressure?

FWIW, I adjusted mine till I could slide a quarter inbetween the spring coils.

yes, i have 35's, 34.5, is what BFG says actually, i had bilsteins all around, but had to go with longer shocks upfront when i got the new ReadyLift keys, so they ordered some e3000 Procomp shocks, and the ride is awesome.

 

[fannitti]

yea someone told me 35 inch tires arnt good for gas trucks messes up the tranny u might have to regear and all that stuff but i dont know if thats true.

 

[fannitti]

are those procomps good for the lift of the front end?

 

[RB24]

there are guys running 37s with a 1500 and 6" lift...the tranny will hold up as long as its taken care of

 

[fannitti]

ok so what shocks is people recomending cuz im tired of reading a lot of differant stuff here i need to get new ones soon

yeah, 35's are fine on the tranny, aint gotta hurt a thing imo. The Procomp shocks in the front work perfectly, no bottoming out at all, i believe they about 1" or so longer than stock, awesome ride, the part # i have for them is 318553.

if ya happen to lose some performance from adding the tires, regearing would be good to make it more like stock again, thats about it, but its not gonna hurt anything, i dont have a programmer, all i have an AFE intake and Borla exhaust, and i can spin the tires eassy.
