Another leveling question 3rd gen (skyjacker)

[lethal injection]

I would like to add a set of skyjacker coils to my truck for leveling purpose. I see on skyjacker website they list a d25 and a d45..... anyone running one of these setups? Which spring will make it level? Should I also get longer shocks?



thanks.

The D25 is the leveling spring, The D45 is the spring for the 4" lift. It will be a benefit to you if you to get some longer shocks. I would recommend a set of Bilstein 5100's.



But, I would also encourage you to try the KORE Leveling kit.

I have the D25's in mine, they started out @ 2. 5" lift but have settled down to 1. 5" (might have something to do with the 1000lb that was hanging on it early in life). 2. 5 actually raised the frontend a little higher than the rear. The D25's can sag easily if you really cycle the suspension but the Kore won't, Kore's springs will even support that 1000 lb plow w/o sagging. you don't have to replace the shocks but you should.

See the link below for a movie of the 4" superlift and the Kore Race system in action. The superlift truck is behind the Kore truck.

... but also keep in mind the Kore Race costs like 3 times more.

I Have The D25's On Mine And It Leveled Mine Perfect 41 1/2 In The Front To The Fender And Same For The Rear.

Tell me more of this settling. Debating on the spring kit. Does anyone make a 2. 5" metal spacer like what is used in most leveling kits (2. 0")?



On edit: looking at 35x18s on a 10" wide rim. With 4. 5" backspacing I have on 17x9s currently, my 35s rub slightly with 2" spacers. I don't want to have the new set rub any worse.

I also have the D25. There is a 1. 5-3" adjustible posted on another thread,(opps, there 2wd) but you still end up with the stock spring. I can't say for everyone, BUT, I noticed a SMOOTHER ride with the skyjackers.

i also have the leveling springs,6 months no problems on a 3500 dually you do have to change the shocks with this set up. Good Luck

I am going to order the d25's and the taller front shocks..... what about the rear do they have to be taller or factory size? I am looking at the 5100's

You know that I just installed the Kore kit on my truck and it will make a difference. See what your truck will look like in a few months with cheap springs. Sometimes you may need to spend a little more to get better quality that will last. Check with DRC and you can just get the springs from Greg Boardman. http://desertracingconcepts.net/welcome.htm
