I’d say either remove the drop shackles or put the leaf back in and you’d be set. It’ll transfer the weight back towards the front and get you leveled out.
Personally I think add the other leaf back, but not the overload. You planning on traction bars?! Gonna need them in my opinion. I want your opinion on something as well, going between 366sxe or 369sxe third gen swap on my 6.7 Cummins. Still have to pull my 10.5k camper, but plan on adding fuel and shooting for 650 hp.
Yeah that’s one of the things i was thinking about doing. And to be honest man i don’t have much expierence with the S300 size turbos. But you could prolly get away with the 369 and an injector like a 60% over and a 10mm and you would def be able to attain that HP goal. Just make sure you beef up your trans as well.
@@okc_garage trans was done when I got the truck, fortunately for me. Thank you for the input! I am looking forward to see where your new to you truck is going!
From my experience in working on tons of 3rd gens you will have to add another leaf back in. That is way to close to bump stops. You will hate it and hit a bump big enough and it adds stress to frame and axle.
I’m in Yukon and have a couple quick questions when you have the time please for my 4th gen. Who would you recommend locally to install: Studs, springs, pushrods and injectors? I am on the fence on 50 or 90hp injectors. The 90’s concern me because they are all marketed as “the largest injector recommended for stock CP3”. As with most things, some say they have zero issues and are nothing but happy, while others say they see pressure drop and recommend and upgraded CP3 and/or lift pump. What say you? 🍻 Edit: I do have BD’s S364.5/.91 Iron 0:02 Horn Kit along with every bolt on breather mod there is.
Hey bro. I just bought the front coils for my truck. Im curious to know how well the front shocks worked with the coil springs. Really would like an update on what you done since then and how the experience has been. Hope all is well.
Cant wait. I got the shock tower deletes and the firepunk coil springs. was planning on running the bilstien 33-186504 and you say dont use them because they will bottom out? or was it the back shocks that was bottoming out 33-186542?
@@okc_garage Appreciate it. Im planning on running the exact same ones. Only difference in our setup is I got the Kingspeed tower deletes which Im sure is thicker. Shouldnt make to much of a difference though.
This is ridiculous. keeptrucks looking like trucks. Or just get a 1/2 ton. Now you cant put a trailer on the back without it looking like a Carolina squat. STUPID
If you knew much about trucks, you would know you’re wrong about that lol, all it takes is airbags and you’re good to go, I lifted trucks squat more than lowered trucks lol

That’s what i was thinking. I’m going to give it a few weeks and see if the front settles any more.

Thanks bro.

you will need to get different shocks. you dont want to bottom out the shock and possibly blow it. an update video is coming very soon on the 3rd gen.

In the video i share the part numbers of the shocks I’m using. They have been working great with no issues.

@@GapdU its just a metal plate you will be fine.
How does the truck ride with the Firepunk coils?
I think it rides the same as stock honestly.
What size are the centering pins? Length and diameter?
U ever figure it out? I need to get some
I believe they are 1/2"
Got any updates?
Video coming soon.
Is your rear end a 11.5”?
Yes sir
@@okc_garage I appreciate it, was trying to figure out what size and I was gonna wait till Monday to call the company. Thanks for helping out 🤘🏻
@@okc_garage Wouldn’t happen to have that part number would you for the U Bolts and Centering pins?
@@austincromer98 i dont at the moments but here is the website i ordered them from. www.stengelbros.net/U-Bolts_c_23.html
@@okc_garage 10-4, been looking at them the past few days on the site and can’t find the size you ordered on there.
Torch the fronts and get that rake going.
