My McGaughy's stuff is here! >>> Update Post 351

Re: My McGaughy's stuff is here!

UPDATE:

After a few hundred miles...

I really like the overall setup. All of the McGaughy's stuff works exactly as intended. The front spindle and spring ride is factory smooth and the rear springs are not too stiff.

BUT

Whatever you do... DO NOT order Belltech Nitro shocks for the rear. The shocks they offer for a 5 - 6 inch drop are so short that they have almost zero extension left. I have no bottoming out issues at all but the shocks "top out" over any rise in the road, resulting in a bang in the rear. The shocks perform well but they are the wrong size for this application (although thay are correct according to Belltech).

I bought a set of air assist shocks for the rear that have about 5 inches more extension. That should solve the problem. Hopefully, I'll have time to install them this week.

Overall the ride and handling of the truck is actually improved over stock. Pretty cool!

except for the issue with the Belltech Nitro shocks..

Even so, I am seriously pleased with how well engineered the McGaughy's stuff is.

Sounds like a good deal. Except the shock issue.

Hope the new shocks work out for you.
