2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Kore suspension mounting...

[KKristiseter]

Hey! I'm new here so just tell me if I'm doing anything wrong



I've just mountet a suspension kit from Kore and the parts seem nice, just have a couple of questions.



Is it so that the round aluspacer and the round plate with 3 bolts on it (dont know the name ) are supposed to be mounted in top of the coil spring in the front? It seems to me that the coil become unsupported in the top, no sidewalls to keep the coil straight up and down? Is it supposed to be like this?



I also mounted a track bar from Kore and the link rod ends that came with the kit (Chase by the way). The end links are adjustable, but how do I know how much to adjust? And the same question for the Track-bar...



I also got a little plastic bag with some Bilstein-labels in it, and in the same bag it was four bronze-looking distance-waschers... Don't know what to do with them



Thanks for all answers

The spacers go on top of the spring tower under the "cone" that the uper shock bolt is attached to. The ring with the three studs goes under the spring tower in place of the factor ring.

No answer on the other's, other than if the track bar is off on adjustment you will see your front axle off to one side or the other.



Good luck.

Thank you, that's fixed =) Another question, the aluminum "billet drop block's"! Are they supposed to go on top of the stability-bar, between the frame and the bushings? The bar I'm talking about is the one where I attached the end links to, and down on the axle.



About the bilstein distance-washers, are they supposed to be used with the bilstein steering damper? Because I can't seem to fit the steering damper with the original brackets on the axle nor in the other end... The OE steeringdamper has a bolt in the end, but the bilstein just has a hole :S



I AM reading the installation-manual, but my english isn't that good



Any pictures would be nice if anybody has done an installation of this Kore-set and taken pictures of it. I forgot



Have not innstalled the mini-pack leafs in the back yet, any tips and hints? Two leaf-packs, four U-bolts with nuts and washers, two bilstein dampers... Should be a piece of cake, right?

The blocks go between the bushing retaining flange and the frame.

I'd have to see your steering damper, as I'm not sure what you have. I think you are talking about spacers?

Might make it easier for some if you place a "signature" of what your truck year and model is.

How tall are the drop blocks in the kore and how long are the bolts for it? Does anyone know if there will be any problems with the dss steering stabilizers? I'm looking to doing the kore kit down the road and I have a dss on the truck and want to make sure that things would fit right and be ok.



Thanks for any info.
