Hey guys/gals im new here and just have a few questons about my truck, i searched about a billion times but did not find my anwser. i have a 2001 1500 5.9l ext cab stock (for now) i bought a pair of 1997 2500 V10 coils. and as i searched that should give me about 3in lift. my question is 1, will thay fit? even tho thay are 1997 V10 and I have a 2001 V8? and 2, do you think i need a drop down pitnam arm? And do you guys recomend any good cheap shocks to go along with it? and btw i plan on doing an add a leaf for the rear if that helps. THANKS And sorry for the poor grammer i stink at it lol.

 

They will fit. I have a 3" lift and dont have a drop pit arm.

 

The shocks I would recomend are good, but not cheap. Sorry I don't associate those words together. But I digress, I would recomend Bilstiens, They have a shock for lifted trucks that works very well. Sorry the exact part number escapes me at the moment.

 

Thanks Guys! Il Try em. And how bad do you think the ride quality will be with the v10 coils? You think it will ware any parts out sooner with them? like ball joints tie rods ect... and btw its my first post and thanks for the quick reply

Thank you!

 

Yes they'll fit. No you don't need a drop pitman. Bilstein or Trailmaster SSV

 

Thanks. I have some Bilsteins on the truck now i dont know what kind. (Lable worn off) You think thay might work? Is there a way to check?

 

Well my friend,seems like it your lucky day...

This is from ShockGuys, 25% off Bilstiens. They are supporters of the Fourm, and always offer us good deals. SO SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH THEM!!

 

Awesome. that’s not bad. ill have to whate on next paycheck to get em. but u think it’s a good idea to drive around with the lift and stock shocks for a couple weeks? i dive most highways and bout 30mi a day. i plan on doing the lift in the next day or so and cash is tight right now, so i might whate on shocks till next weeks pay.
