Re: Yet another GMC build

One thing that has bothered me is the high ride height and stiff ride. The vette transverse spring was too low and bottomed out. I put on coil overs and QA1s best guess for me was 400 lb springs. They were also too low. Out of cash and strapped for time I ran all three springs. No more pot hole terrors. According to QA1 what I’m doing is a big no-no and the springs added together make for a race car-like 700 lb rate. I bought a pair of 200lb springs and swapped out the 400 pounders. Hard to see in the pic but it's about 1" lower. Rides softer, sits lower, no banging the pavement. Going to roll with it for a while, see what happens.
