Coil Overs, should I raise the front?

[nello]

Here is the stance of my truck now w/ the RPM coilovers. Looks nice but the ride is a bit harsh for me cause it's to low. I want to raise it a little but I'm kinda afraid to loose the rake.

I saw Syborgs airbag setup, I really, really like it. http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18690&page=105 #1565
This guy goes balls to the walls on his truck but I'm don't have that kind of scratch.
Anybody else go with an AirRide setup? I'd like to raise the truck a bit when driving and slam it when parked or on freshly paved road or track. Thinking manual pump, no tank or compressor. Your thoughts? I wish I had better pics.

setback plates for the rear. Get that wheel centered in the well.

well, its low alright, it looks good, but did you install the spacer it comes with? i would also see how much room you have to the bumps, that may cause your rough ride, or swap for lighter springs.

Spacers not installed. Spacer will add another inch i think... I want something adjustable and easy to do whenever. Airbags seem to be a good option...I'm gonna have to check'em out, find something used.
I don't know what, beside the bags and lines, that I'll need to make a quick adjustable front suspension for as cheap as possible. What will actually work, if anything, with stock arms? :rotf: I'll probably just buy the damn spacers!


The rear is slammed! Lowering blocks, fiberglass leafs, caltracs and stocker shocks :lol:

Shit, i forgot that I already cracked my front driver side cladding too!! That was the final straw. Lucky for me the crack is on the inside of the wheel well, and not visible.

I really like the staggered wheels. What size are they?

i'm curious about bagging the front too. i know there is a pork chop setup for bags but i don't think it ckears on our trucks.

a cheap pump for them would be an Escalade rear shock pump, got one on mine and it works nice, pick em up at the junk yard, as far as the rest, good luck
