Options:
This suspension system allows for several different options to suit ythis needs. The 2.5" x 8" coil over can be installed with one of the following options, sway bar, bump stops, or bypass shocks. This will give the vehicle similar on road driving characteristics to stock with minimal sacrifice to the suspension systems performance. The next option is installing bump stops. They will help dampen hard impacts and are cost effective but on the other hand are often noisy. The last option is most commonly used. Adding bypass shocks will fine tune the damping throughout the suspension cycle. They are also completely adjustable to perfect the ride quality.
Shocks:
For the best performance and to achieve the full amount of travel you must purchase this spec built coil over shocks or have them custom built based on this shock spec sheet. In addition, this long travel kit is tabbed to accommodate bypass shocks. The bypass shocks will allow for superior suspension dampening and tunability. The bypass shock hoop kit requires welding and modifications to the frame. You have the option of installing 2.5" diameter by 8" stroke bypass shocks or 3.0" diameter by 8" stroke bypass shocks.
Tire Info:
When installing 37" tires with this kit you must modify the wheel wells to avoid contact at full bump. The firewall pinch weld will also need to be folded over to clear the 37" tires.
Wheel Travel:
When shopping long travel kits many consumers tend to focus just on travel numbers. This is the reason many companies claim inaccurate numbers or don’t disclose the amount of work involved to achieve these numbers. This goal is to build a suspension system with the highest amount of wheel travel without requiring major modifications to the vehicle or compromising its overall drivability.
