just wanted some feedback on people running a 4link with coilovers on there syty. How is the ride and is it longtrip friendly? Talked to a local race shop they charge me $1,500 to do all the rear suspension and just want to know if its worth it

Done right it will ride better than stock.

$1500 if that includes labor and parts seems very cheap though to do right.

Yes its with labor and installed they do a lot of race cars down south and a lot of newer p/u's running in the single digits

Re: rear coilovers

Does that include the shock/spring combo? If so, can they do a kit we can install ourselfs?

Re: rear coilovers

yeah thats with the shock/spring combo and i can talk to them and it might be cheaper than 1500 since they wont install it i can talk to them i just want some feed back on how well the coilovers had worked for other people on there syty's before going through on mine. i really like the idea because i want my truck to sit really low and not squad so much because breaking cladding gets expensive

Re: rear coilovers

Things I'd like to see in a rear coil-over conversion:

Improvded ride quality (street)
Improved handling and cornering ability (road race)
Improved launch and 60 ft times (drag race)
Adjustable
Well built, dependable, long lasting.
Quality workmaship, good appearance.
All for about $1,500 installed.

Yea, I want it all.

Nice Job!...Seem's like it might be worth the 1500.00 Just for the weight savings.Those springs are heavy muthas. As well as the top braces and no more bottom shock mount plate's.I would love to see pictures..

Re: rear coilovers

We are working to make it a full bolt in affair. We have some more test ing to do but preliminary calculations, looking at $1200.

Thats for the bolt in 4 link. The hardware. Single adjustable coilovers, with springs, and ends, ready to install. IF you wanted a specific color for Powdercoating or additionals, that would add to the cost.

Re: rear coilovers

I forgot to ask this at homecoming, but that bracket that you attach to the rear diff, will it work with those aftermarket rear diff covers? This is the exact rear diff cover that Mike Campbell engraved for me years ago.

No, it will not. The guessets on the cover stick out too much and hit the mounting flange. I had one done up as well, and when i mocked it up.... no fit. So you have to stick with the stock cover.

Re: rear coilovers

hasn't hit the market because we'd like to do some real world testing before we mass market it. We have some changes we are making to the rear brackets to make the positioning of the CG more ideal for our trucks. We need to fab and test that bracket set up on the shop Sy. As for the Ty, we hope to have a set up tested in Ty being built by next spring. Check our site and our FB page for any news and updates. Thanks

Re: rear coilovers

This looks awesome.

Any update on this? Just curious.

Any discount for purchasing a front and rear kit to do everything?
