i was looking at your other thread about the SD coils.

are there any mods that need to be done to use the SD coils?

also the truck that was featured in the diesel power article, they took the sway bar off the front. is that needed in order to use the SD coils? wouldn't that adversely effect handling?

i REALLY like the level look of the truck in that article.

As far as I know they just bolt in in place of the stock ones( really easy I've had mine off more times than I can count)
That's the point of this thread tho to make sure they'll fit and not screw camber up torus point an alignment won't fix it
And the sway bar I think they just had it off because the truck was used of road almost full time.

Thanks Eric
It looks like he used some kind of drop bracket on the I beams too tho but doesn't make much mention of it?
I wonder if that's really nessasery or if a good alignment woe keep the camber intact? It's not like there lifting the truck 4-5 inches.

99-02 would have to come out of a 2wd truck for it to be coil springs.
Hard time finding those springs while the 05 up 4x4 coil springs are everywhere .
Let me know how your swap goes tho:D

Patience I'll get them up.
Taking the truck in for an alignment tomorw and then I'll take pictures.
As of right now my tires are like \/. Camber is WAY off.
The front actually sits higher than the back now but not by much.
Truck looks SO much better now tho.

Did u go with the 05's? I did the 99's all post pics when I get my comp going

yes sir I did.
Post up your pics of the swap.
Question for you. How did you reconnect the flange and bolt at the very top of the spring?
I assume it's not safe to drive without that thing?
