What are you running (rear suspension)

Just looking for ideas based on what everyone seems to be running for suspension. My ty is lowered but with crappy blocks going another route.

2 Sy's with Bell Tech drop leafs, set back plates, and 2" blocks (amazingly they sit at different heights).
1 Ty with fiberglass composite leafs and 2" blocks

Bell Tech drop leafs and sway bar. 1/2" blocks. KYB Monomax. Bumpstops cut. Rides decent for a lowered truck

DesertSy: Custom-cut 1-1/2" steel blocks, stock springs, stock Bilstein shocks.
WhiteTy: Stock springs, no blocks, KYB Gas-A-Just shocks. (Monomax are too stiff for my tastes).
GoodSy: Davey-Z custom set-back 2" blocks, stock springs, stock Bilstein shocks

I have the front and rear belltech swaybars. It has 3" blocks in the rear with stock leafs and bilsteins all the way around. I was to go to those coilovers you have Dave are they the same for both sy and ty? If so do you have a part number and what weight spring are you running 250#? Those belltech leafs everyone is running are they all the 2" drop cause that is what I want don't want to end up with stock height ones?

Re: What are you running (rear suspension)

Beltech are advertised as a 3" drop on a regular S-Series. It dropped my rear by a measured 2".

I still have rear leaf springs, I don't remember the part number for the rear coil overs, i boughten from a vendor here. (They as more like helper springs). I was hoping to tune the suspension for better launches by adjusting the dampening and preload. (It on my list of projects). Onlowered truck (typhoons in particular) coil over shocks help eleminate with the rear axle bottoming out against the bump stops on hard launches.

Belltech 5954# I believe for the leafs. Well I guess I could try calling qa1 and see if they have an answer... If not I'll go afco I got part numbers from another guy on here for those. Mine bottoms out all the time. Twin turbo yours definitely sounds custom way above my needs lol but I bet it rips!. I just purchased mine last Thursday it's real nice everything is clean and setup low miles just the suspension is cheap in my opinion so was gonna get a better ride quality out of it. I mean hell the front end doesn't even have lowering keys just torsion bars turned all the way down.
