Nice looking truck!
Did you also intall the pitman arm from Pro Comp?
I am deciding if I need the EXP-52416B-1 kit to go with these springs.

 

i did not install an aftermarket pitman arm. after the install, i adjusted the steering wheel back to 90% straight, and still have about 2" worth of threads on the inside of the sleeve at both ends. so i didn't think there was a need for an aftermarket arm.

i have had my wife do a full turn both ways, and have seen no interference with any other component. i tried to check turning in our ditch as well, with a slight flex, and didn't see any problem so far.

 

the pitman arm will put the steering linkage back in line so when the springs compress over bumps the wheels dont steer to the side. I did my 6" procomp in the driveway. its a fairly easy task. just need good tall jack stands and a jack. download the install instructions on procomps website. It does help doing things in a certain order. The hardest part I had was getting the track bar to line up in the hole of the new drop bracket. wait till your done and use the power steering to shift the axle left or right and that takes care of it.

 

Nice setup man. The look of it is so much better. Our ex's just look live a van stock. That lift really made it look like a extreme suv. How much lift on stock 265/75 tires do you think it added. I know that you added bigger tires, but can you estimate? Thanks.

 

What about bump stop? No need for them anymore?

 

I wanted to bring this back up because I'm interested in putting the 22415 on the back and eliminating the blocks. I already have V codes waiting to be installed on the front but am wondering if this combo will make the back too high compared to the front. It looks like the 22415's give about 4" of lift while the V codes lift approx 1.5". Add to it that the back is already higher than the front, I'm concerned that this will not look or perform right. Is anybody currently running this setup (v's front, 22415's rear)? For those that have installed the 22415's, do you have a measurement from the center of the hub to the fender well and how do you like them now that you have had them on for a while? Thanks.

 

Good questions!! I have the V-codes up front and ready to swap rear springs and was just wondering about the 22415's again since I'm back in the northeast and figured un-rusted B-codes are gonna be hard to come by up here...

Anybody tow anything with the 22415's???

 

I called Pro Comp and they told me that the 4" lift is with using the factory blocks. It sure doesn't look that way to me, it appears that it is at least 4" with the block removed.

 

From the center of the hub to the fender well mine measures 26" front and rear. If anything I would add one more inch to the rear. The measurements say it should be level but to my eyes the rear looks a touch lower. The 22415's gave me 5" over stock without the block as I recall. I found the 22415's comparable to the stock springs in ride quality but the front springs made a huge difference.

 

from the ground to the center of the fender it measures 43" on my set up. no factory blocks on the rear. BUT the rear has settled slightly so another 1-1.5" is what i'll probably put back under them for a block.

i towed our atv's and trailer out to the woods the other weekend, and it did great, granted my trailer is only 1700Lbs, and the bikes are about #700 ea (1400 total).

Thanks guys. I'm at 40" from the ground to the fender and 24" from center of hub at the back. According to your measurements, I should get about 3" of lift with the 22415's if I remove my blocks. I really like this idea because it should reduce the axle wrap. If it raises it up too much I can always add a small spring pack or lift shackles on the front.

 

For $270/pr SHIPPED, I think I'll go with the 22415's instead of used b-codes. Someone told me they had a set of air bags for me , so I should be fine in the towing department if these springs end up being a little soft loaded.

So I guess I need new u-bolts - how about centering pins? Anything else to install these springs??

 

I think I'm going to get these too. Where are you ordering them from? Everywhere I have looked they seem to have an oversized handling/shipping charge? I think they should already have a centering pin, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. I spoke with Summit Racing and they just told me to take measurements on the size of U bolts that I need and they would either have them or could get them.

 

I didn't order yet... but found'em here:
