very stiff up front, feels like no suspension travel, and I still have bump steer, not as bad as before I swapped all the suspension out for new shit, but still there. I get some wheel vibe and shake at cruising speeds.

 

[Gannon]

Just go faster, my vibration seems to go away around 70mph.

 

[bgray]

fuck thats so weird, you would shoot yourself in the face if you could feel my how good my granda cc rides

 

[Jared]

that's why I feel it's got to do with the shocks. I can't confirm until I try a different shock though.

 

[Dakota]

Did you ever trim your front bumpstops?

 

[Jared]

No, I forgot all about them. Once I get over this shit I plan to get it realigned (thanks Shreveport) and I will trim them. I need to do an oil change as well.

 

[Dakota]

I know when I first dropped mine, it was sitting on the bumpstops and the ride was bouncy as hell..once I trimmed them (cut about half off) and I got about a .5" more low and the bouncyness went away

 

[bagged00]

shit i take the fuckers off.

 

[Jared]

They totally slipped my mind. I wanted to address it when I had the frame notched, but we ran low on time, then I got home and forgot.

 

[Dakota]

shit i take the fuckers off.

Yea I started to take them off but just decided to trim first and if I still had problems I would take them off completely

Im pretty pissed off with the SP shocks. I feel the same things as jared, except I definitely narrowed downt he annoying constant squeak in my front end to a shock, and the irritating sound out back to the shocks, just like the one that fucking rattled on my gmc....Gotta come up with something better...

 

[bagged00]

i thought you fixed that rattling shock when you got plowed in the bedside right on the axle lol

 

[Dakota]

Mine squeak when I pull into the driveway but its because I have it go in at an angle over the curb lol

You used that shock fool lol. These are the same shocks, just not out back. Want Bgrays part numbers for cloud of titty shocks :imo

 

[bagged00]

[CUB]

Maybe it's a NBS thing

 

[Tukn4s]

Nitro drop 2's never gave me an issue

Same here. I was gonna get some sp's for the front but ill just get something else now

 

[jayballz]

The trucks I've rode In with sp, with exception of one, rode like dick. That's why I didn't get them. I can attest to Jared's truck as well, for a cc with a baby drop it sure rides like a single cab at -12/-18 lol

I think Brandon said it well when he said most people on forums tend to all jump on the same shit, and when it isn't as expected, they are too worried about speaking out and admitting they spent money on something not up to par.
