these been in my truck for about 2+ year rides the sames as stock
http://www.suspensionconnection.com/...c09103d16.html

for 40 bucks!!!!!!

40 bucks i cant see messing with the jy time is money and gas

i dont see it doing much more than a bad ride,, because of the spring rates, sure the "may" sit higher because it doesnt have that bigger motor pressing down

3/4ton 2wd dont "realy" sit higher, i know on 4x4 3-4 ton yes springs and frame taller,,, frame maybe taller on the a 2wd 3/4 idk

.02cents

Your 2 cents are wrong. If you put the 8800# springs in your 1/2 ton truck it will sit 2" higher.

Can I bring this back from the dead???

I'm in need of info, as I have ordered the wrong parts for my truck..

2002 1500 Quad Cab SOHC 4.7L RWD

I went with a 2in lift all around as I tow a race trailer, and don't like the level look daily and then saggign while towing.........

I used Rough Country spacers up front and standard blocks in the rear.....while also replacing the shocks with Bilstein HD's...

I ordered part # 24-184847 (wrong mounting, and not longer)......I have been riding on stock front shocks, toping them out on every speed bump!! lol

I AM DONE WITH THIS AND WANT TO FIX IT!!!


After research, leading me to join here and such....I need verification....am I correct?

I need Bilstein part# 24-186063 (correct mounting "T" and 2in longer, but found only for a 2500 van??)

NOW SPRINGS!! I'd like new....

I saw length varies per corner?? that true?? I seen Reybestos? Moog? and Rockwell......

I also seen a part# listed the same for the 6400 and the 7500 rates and truck.....I don't get it......I don't want to end up with the same spring I have....and still w/wrong parts!

I tow a lot, and finally decided to get rear leveling bags, so the 3/4in lift from the 7500 v8 springs will be level enough w/matching shocks of course, leaving the 2in in the back and the bags

the 8800 rates are not an option, I daily my truck....LOL...unless someone says otherwise??


Thank YOU!! I look forward to exploring the community....

Pretty much. So long as you have the same number of drive wheels.
