optimum suspension for street truck

greg77 · 06-01-2007, 06:48 AM

I have a 07 Titan that is purley a street truck and I would like to get the most out of my suspension. I do not want to lower it though, I want to level it. How would the Radflo 2.0 coilovers work? (along with an improved sway bar) Are they designed primarily to work best offroad or can I get great improvements on street handling?
Thanks!

As you note, Stillen front sway bar is a nice improvement.

Deaver spring pack and decent rear shocks help alot also.

Greg said the lowering kit made the titan handle like a dream on the street (not exact words) but yea your best bet would be the lowering kit for street performance. And why not if it is purley a street truck?

However if you want it leveled you could do the SAW's front (or DRs) and DR rears. That will leave you level and it still rides way better than stock.

Last i checked the radflows were superior offroad and the DR's are better on road, but thigns may have changed since then.

By DR do you mean Donahoe?

Cheapest and best would be, Bilsteins on all 4's with PRG level kit. If you want a little more lift, get the performance kit with either the SAW's or DR's...

What's wrong with the Rancho's that come stock on the 07, they ride very well IMO.

They are notably not the high quality Ranchos. Strictly middle-of-the-line. So many better options out there....

Actualy the stock non-rancho shocks are better....The stock Ranchos are complete junk. I threw mine in the garbage after I got the SAW's. The stock ranchos use foam rubber for dampening they are not even oil shocks.

I agree, the non-Off Road shocks are much better then the Wanna be Rancho's...

I've done the PRG 2-1/2" Front and 1" Rear Leveling kit and just received the Stillen Front and Rear AntiSway bars this week. The Rear is not going to be available in the future (being discontinued), but can be had by calling. I'll eventually upgrade to Bilsteins in the rear, likely to leave my front alone unless something gives out.

Since you haven't drove a truck with say a set of SAW's you have no idea!
I would level the truck, with a set of SAW's up front, get the DR's for the rear, still get rid of the factory over-load spring leaf, and look for a good rear sway-bar...you will have a great handling street truck that won't pound the kidneys...

Bingo!
