Good question, I appreciate you bringing that up. |
Re: Ridetech 4-Link Coil-Over Install
For the folks that have these systems, as I do...has anyone checked their rear tank fitment yet? Im still undecided on a blazer tank or a custom alum one.
Thanks, Bubba |

The Boyd's tank fits. Its close to the sway bar and mounts. Usually I put the bolt heads on the upside, but on this situation, I put them on the bottom. Has plenty of clearance now. Everything else is good to go. Bubba |

Re: Ridetech 4-Link Coil-Over Install
Hey John,
Do you know of any installs of the new C10 coil over setup on a FACTORY 2WD Blazer, 1978 in my case? You can't just "remove the bed" for the install and I believe the rear frame may be slightly different from the trucks. |

What we might be able to do is send you the C-Notch template and you can mock it up to see how the kit could potentially work out. Call me direct when you get a chance and we can figure something out. 812-481-4737. |

From the ground to the bottom of the frame (at the transmission cross member) is 5.5 inches From the ground to the engine cross member is 4.25 inches. I have included pictures of the height using a Mountain Dew can as a reference. ---Frame Rail at Trans X-Member--- Attachment 1712544 ---Engine X-Member--- Attachment 1712545 ---Front Lower Air Dam--- Attachment 1712546 |

Re: Ridetech 4-Link Coil-Over Install
How much height adjustability is possible? What would a guy do if he wanted to stay at the "stock height with rear lowering shackles" look and not put the truck in the weeds to turn it into a racer. Ie. to get the ride quality improvements of a 4-link while still keeping the truck useable for entering driveways, driving down dirt roads, etc.

If you would like to improve your overall ride quality, I would just upgrade your current shocks to the single adjustable pieces that we offer. I can put some together to fit your ride height on the truck and they too will give you the rebound adjustment found in the coilover. With 24 different rebound settings in each shock, you can fine tune the ride quality to your liking. |

Thanks for the input N2TRUX!

Also, if I inflate the bags to bring the truck out of the weeds, then that will stiffen the suspension. :smoke: |

With that being said, if your spring rate or air pressure is off it will noticeably change the ride quality. It really all comes down to if you want to be able to lay it out when you park. I really believe that ride quality and performance are equal between both components when properly set up. |

Keep in mind there are several factors that come in to play on ride quality that have nothing to do with the suspension. Are you running billet, cast, or steel wheels? What size, and series tires are you running? The weight of the wheels and tires coupled with the size of the sidewall have a significant impact on ride regardless of what suspension you have. From what I have experienced so far, coil over is great if you want a fixed height once its tuned. It also offers the flexibility of a "track tune" if you plan on running autocross. Air suspension requires a similar tune to find the "sweet spot" that gives the best ride and ride height. Couple adjustable pressure with adjustable shocks and you can tune it for your prefered use. |
