Anyone have experience with Truckin Suspension?

I was on their site and noticed these http://www.tsliftkitstore.com/product.asp?returnURL=default.asp&ID=19486.



I called them up to inquire and they say their designed for the V8s, though they say the v10 can hold them too. No mention of the diesel.



They ALSO have notes that say that in a reg. cab. model it would lift 3. 5 inches.



SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo . . . .



how much weight difference is there between the V8 and the CTD? Think it'll compress the supposed 3" inch down to 2. 5" ?(which is what I think is what the max I can fit in the 2wd without a-arms)



Naturally, I asked them all these questions but the rep was too knowledgable and they've been trying to contact the manufacturer to get the springs rates and load capacity, but have been unsuccessful so far.



(and if i do get these spring, should i grab a 2", 3", or 4" block for my '95 SLT CC 2wd stock rear?

I lifted the front of my v-10 two inches. that was the max it could go because of alignemt issues. The CTD weighs about 2x what the v-8 weighs. In my experience with looking for springs to support the reunel bumper and lift, you are looking at a custom set of coils. A set from Valley Spring in CA ran about 2 bills. They increased the rate and capacity of the spring based on the lift desired and weight of the bumper, and the distance the bumper stuck out in front of the axle centerline



Sure, it may hold a 2. 5 lift wihle sitting still, but hit the brakes and nosedive would be horrible.



I have dealt with Truckin Suspension, and they sould stick with lowering mazdas and raising 1500's. I was not at all impressed with their knowledge when I dealt with them.
