What fronts to use with 4" rear springs? K30
M1008 k30. I have a set of 38s that I'd like to put on it. Totally cool with cutting to fit.
So can't make up my mind on which direction to go. For sure I have 4" rear 56s. Which direction should I go for the front? 2.5" with a zero rate forward 1.5" Or 4" with no zero rates. (Least desirable look to me) Or 4" and a zero rate forward 1.5" I don't like the truck too nose high cause that's cali dumb. I can deal with level. I'd like to keep the rake it has now which is the "Texas level" i.e. nose down. But just a little. Which is the most likely option to get a close to the texas level truck? I am using procomp springs all new. Never had experience with new rear springs. Thanks guys. Last edited by obijuan; 07-05-2016 at 09:41 PM. |

Re: What fronts to use with 4" rear springs? K30
I like them slightly nose high. That is the best for handling and ride. The rear follows the front rather than toss it around. Unless you load the bed, a pickup is front end heavy. That's why you see off road racers high in front (more extreme). But, I see a slight rake already on your truck and I believe 4" springs would make it level. To me, ass-end high looks cheap. Look like a 2wd. A 4wd sits level. It's easier to lift the rear, so when people first started lifting trucks you saw a lot of ridiculous jacked up rears with nose dive fronts. That's where I am coming from. A level or slightly raised front gives the done right look. The look of actual suspension work and not whatever it takes to cobble it upwards.
