Finally Got my DR Coil-Overs... Thanks PRG!
Well I met up with PRG last night and he installed my new Donahoe Racing Coil-Over Shocks. Only took about 30 minutes and I was on my way home. We have them set at stock, which provides about a 2" lift to the front. Leveled my truck out perfectly!
So far the handling has improved noticeable on the street. A little more firm so the truck doesn't roll as much when corning. I clear my 33's" now with no more rubbing. I will let everyone know how they do off-road shortly.... Maybe I should call in sick?

Re: Finally Got my DR Coil-Overs... Thanks PRG!
Your truck looks way much better with the Coilovers... Congratulations...
What size rim and offset do you have, and can you please take a side profile picture just to see hoe much those tires stick out from the truck? THC in advance

Re: Finally Got my DR Coil-Overs... Thanks PRG!
Thanks K-MU.... Actually thinking about adjusting the shocks for another 1/2" lift.
I'm running Mickey Thompson Classic Lock 17X9 w/ a 4.5" backspacing. And here are those pics you wanted....

Re: Finally Got my DR Coil-Overs... Thanks PRG!
Now you need the Deavers/Bilstein and maybe a 1" block also to finish your suspension set up and to get better looks with the rear lifted also...

Re: Finally Got my DR Coil-Overs... Thanks PRG!
Great looking truck!
I just got my DRs on this past weekend and am loving them. Took me a little longer than 30 min though :P LOL No time for offroading yet (maybe I should call in too) but I've been searching for potholes and railroad tracks like crazy. I've had mine set at 2" too and have been considering cranking them up a bit.

Yep, stock suspension. I managed to get her a little dirty today, took the wife on a little picnic. Sure there was a beautiful spot 1/2 mile down the road, but what fun would that be? We took a little trek through the oak trees and managed to find a little rough terrain. The coil-overs, despite being just a tad firm for street driving (but a huge improvement with street cornering), really flex there muscle when the going gets rough. 60mph over uneven terrier brought full droop and full bump numerous times, and the DR's liked every minute of it. Can't wait to do it again, but this time without the nagging wife... I got beat more then the truck.

Re: Finally Got my DR Coil-Overs... Thanks PRG!
congratulations X!! have had mine on since December and i can't tell you how many times i say, "i love these DRs"!!! just point and shoot towards any dip or road imperfection, that normally would bottom the f^ck out of the stock shock, but the DRs soak them up like they WEREN'T there!! love your wheel/tire setup too!! loooks good!! isn't Greg just the coolest? if i ever win the Lotto, i'm gonna make my own offroad race team and Greg is gonna be my personal, highest paid, suspension guru!!!
 and greg!! you'll have a lifetime supply of Starbuck Frapps at your disposal!!! LOL!!!

Re: Finally Got my DR Coil-Overs... Thanks PRG!
Mine are set at 2", haven't had time to do any tweaking but I think I may try to get another 1/2". I should have done before and after measurements as I was installing them, but oh well, gives me something to do when I'm busy procrastinating over spring break... Hopefully I'll find time to venture off-road on Friday, in the meantime, I love these things! They really soak up speed bumps and potholes!

Re: Finally Got my DR Coil-Overs... Thanks PRG!
DR Coil-Overs......
Since this works with a stock suspension, seems like an easy solution to level my rig. Approx. how much would this set me back, installed? Thanks Guys |
