Coil Overs for our trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Have any of you used this kit, and if so, what do you think of it? I have been wanting to buy it for some time now, and I think I am for Christmas this year.
I like to hear from anyone who has used it though, before I do.

I've thought of using it too. I think it lowers your rear end about 4-5 inches and will really affect your loading ability. If you don't plan to use your truck for towing or hauling, you should be fine. I won't do any of that when mine is done, so I am still considering it. I would also like to hear what others think about it. Or if anyone has used it.

Those shocks look so good, you would need a glass bottom bed floor, so everyone could see them.
Before you buy, check with CPP on dropped distance. I think you only get about 1"...must use blocks to get more than that...but not positive, so ask first...and let us know what you find out.

My original plan was to use this kit with the c-notches. They make a 3" and 4 1/2" kit. Since they are true coil overs you will be able to adjust your ride height. I talked to them a few times and they were very helpful on the phone. I think it would be a very good kit.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
