0 IFP gas shocks and is available with optional FOX factory series 2. The only thing is the front kit is $3500. This is a good idea. Diogenese wrote:I can't get my head around the reason for changing to coils, a torsion bar is just a coil spring straightened out, the physics are the same. Each spring is preset with a hydraulic stress to reduce fatigue in the steel and prevent sagging. In its heyday, the system was a solid design given the technology and engineering available. Square threaded design is stronger and more resistant to dings, dirt, and binding associated with the traditional Bilstein RSR struts. Yeah 99 percent of torsion bars seem like that. Overall, it's lightyears better than the torsion bar design and something we're surprised GM isn't offering from the factory. Next you may have to upgrade the mounts at the chassis as these are originally designed to take just an indexing load, I'm not familiar with the Humvee BJ's but if they have a different mount to the spindle trust me you don't want to go down this path lol cost in machining to get it to fit and back to the tec comity again. GM ADDED HOLES IN THE TOWER WHICH CAUSE CRACKING***. Might not be practical, but its something to think about. Once these are removed the holes can be drilled to 3/8" to accept the lower tbar kit. DELETES torsion bars to gain a smooth quality ride.
Regarding the original post - I definitely feel that in developing a custom IFS system, in order to maximise performance/tuneability/reliability, the torsion bars have to go in the bin. Some reinforcing of the upper shock towers and lower arm retention may be necessary. After looking through it looked very easy and this was on a bigger truck in the states... hd-504605/. Even stock A arm may not handle the different load location.
Location: Springs, Colorado. A 17/64 drill bit and 5/16-24 tap are needed to drill and tap the holes for the set screws that keep the assemblies in place. In a stock application, the torsion bars work OK, but they add a lot of complexity and weight to your suspension system. If You Or Your Installer Have Any Questions Please Reach Out To Our Sales Team At (909)-305-4824 Or Email. The coilovers are from AFCO. BDS coil springs are designed to withstand full coil bind. The tie-rod end holes need to be reamed out to 5/8-inch, and the upper A-arm ball joint holes need to be reamed out to 3/4-inch to accommodate the larger hardware. What do you guys think in respect to 4x4 capabilities with this type of conversion?
5" system includes a pair of one-piece laser cut high clearance crossmembers, CNC machined ductile iron steering knuckles to correct tie rod angles, heavy duty front skid plate and differential skid plate to increase protection, multipoint differential relocation brackets to secure differential and correct CV axle angles, longer sway bar links and braided stainless steel extended brake lines. Completely change how your HD GM 2500/3500 rides with this 01-10 Coilover conversion eliminating the harsh ride from the torsion bars while increasing wheel travel. Use only letters and numbers in password. As far as the upper A-arm, what might be the easiest solution is to actually cut out a chunk of the arm between the mounting bushing and the ball joint, and replace it with a piece of round tubing. How would this impact a potential future lift or other modifications one might make? Making yesterday's muscle cars handle using today's tech.
Valheim Genshin Impact Minecraft Pokimane Halo Infinite Call of Duty: Warzone Path of Exile Hollow Knight: Silksong Escape from Tarkov Watch Dogs: Legion. NOTE: fabricated UCA option no longer available*). 5" id 6" springs of your choosing (powder coated preferably). Rounding out the front suspension BDS supplies front differential relocation to correct CV axle operating angle to optimize CV performance. LSK Is Proud To Introduce The 99-10 2500HD Coilover Conversion / Torsion Bar Delete System.
5" coilover spring and start measuring. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND CRANKING THIS KIT UP TO ACHEIVE MORE RIDE HEIGHT. But hey I'm no expert. Personally I dont see the advantage in coilover IFS. With the front of the truck raised, there was room for a larger set of treads.
Don't want that catching. All items, including the frame package, are custom ordered at the time of purchase and can take 7-10 business days to ship. Install not recommended for the average mechanic. The part that I'm really wondering though is the lower A-arm, how much re-enforcing would it require to accept the load from the spring, seeing that now almost all the weight on the wheels would be on the lower arm. These new coilover systems have been engineered and tested for improved comfort, fade free performance, and increased suspension travel. Limit Straps with Adjustable Clevis. Re; off the shelf long arm kits, unfortunately there is nothing available that suits the WD21 chassis. Register to join our community. Black and gold; Black shock bodies, gold anodized parts/resis, black coils WITH compression adjusters.
Just from what I've looked at thus far(not much), it seems that stock coil-overs are positioned in a very simaler spot to where out shocks are now, so it might require some clearancing or even new upper A-arms, but not brain surgery. Location: Los Osos, CA (we can't agree on crap! This truck has a 6-inch suspension lift. JD Fabrication specializes in go-fast long-travel suspensions for 2x4s and 4x4s. Ride height and shock clearances vary depending on year range, some trucks have more room for shocks than others (we have installed identical kits on identical trucks and have seen some differences from factroy and also differences in rear suspension height). More wheel travel than stock is afforded by the new JD Fabrication steering bits and upper A-arms without going beyond the capabilities of the stock CV halfshafts. 1999-2006 GM 4x4 IFS Coilover Conversion. SHOCK UPGRADES; (email for this). In other words, you can smash our coils to totally flat and they will return to their original height. No tools or shop adjustments needed, allowing you to tune the suspension out on the trail. I've wanted to do this also and was thinking if you know someone that is going SAS and they have a 3rd gen. have them cut the strut tower as close to the frame as possible. It will be really close to the coils, close enough that i would want it shaved.
