DCS if your talking about SNOPRO: what he posted was: he had a 6" select spring..then a 6" deaver.. he liked the select better.. he went back and sold the deaver.. then he bought an 8" deaver.. your right,.. But he never tried an 8" select? did he?... You know i dont think selects are better.. Im just saying there similiar... and Uptown will see NO "night and day differance"

Sinjin, I promise we'll go out when I slow down some. As for the prerunner. They were originally described as a 2 wheel drive truck that would"pre-run" the race courses for the desert trucks and stuff to see what the course was like. That way they could get an idea for the course without blowing their expensive truck through and possibly breaking parts right before races.

Myself, I would seriously look into the new Skyjacker Z-Link coil spring conversion! This set-up will outride ANY leaf spring kit on the market. And with the price around $2K seems very reasonable for a bolt on kit. Does someone out there have one? Any reports would be nice

I meassured 17 1/4 inches between my axel tube and my frame. A guy has 18.5 with edge 8" springs???
My leafs are 10 packs so i guess thet are the select ride ones.
What do you measure jetjock with your spring and hanger combo?

Your are probaly right I should just change my shocks first and see if there is a difference in ride. I dont wanna spend the money on the 7100's though. Do they sell a 5100 long enough for the 8" lifts?

17.25" is actually really good for a 8" spring.
Yep, he is at 18.5" with a V10 SuperCab Short Bed.....they springs finally settled in some, when they were brand new they were at 19" he said.
The 5100s for a 8" lift are the BE5-6249-H5 for the fronts and BE5-6250-H5 for the rear.....price would be around $75.00 per shock.
Hope this helps.
