I’d be interested in that if he doesn’t want it.
I tell you guys ****in what.
These ORD bilstiens are the cats knees. I put a long arm and progressive springs with foxes on my third gen dodge amd this chevrolet is a better ride.
I'll be dipped in shit. Incredible ride quality.

what springs and specs ?
Procomp 4" front and 56 rear.
No shackle flip for me. Replacement rear springs. I plan on adding air bags for load bearing but the anemic tbi350 can barely pull a wet booger out of my nose right now. Ain't gonna be loaded down any time soon.
Yeah we will burn that bridge when we cross it.

Even though I have not even driven my CCLB yet, I decided to spend the extra money when I was installing my ORD lift and did bilstiens as well. From what everyone has said, it makes a world of difference. I'm hoping with the shackle flip in the back on mine, and with the bilstiens, it will ride real nice unloaded. Then I plan to bag mine in the rear for heavy towing too
Trucks lookin reaaaaaal good!!!
Are you running the stock spring packs with your shackle flip? I'm going to redo my rear suspension this year and I'm very interested in what you other crewcab guys are running. I may go up to a 64" spring, undecided...
Yes, factory spring pack in the back of mine with a 2.5" shackle flip, ORD beef shackles, and I added an EZ inch later (so roughly 3.5" of total lift...honestly probably closer to 4"). Front are 3" lift springs (though they look more like 4" springs) from ORD. They are not the custom ORD springs, just their standard "lift kit" spring they offer. Mine was this:

Just designed for a 1-ton since their flip brackets are different for 1-ton vs 3/4 and 1/2 tons
Yeah what is the rear spring configuration on it? Mine had chingos leafs in it.
One of the main reasons for replacement rear springs.

I can't remember off hand, but I'm pretty sure they are 7 or 8 plus overload
Mine has 9 total leaves, 8+ overload and is about 3-5/8" thick. The stock ratings for these springs are 3,500 lbs.
I went with TC 4" HD front springs and I am currently running a block in the rear.
There is a stock 3/4 ton 56" spring 2,600 lb rating, also 9 leaves, but 3-3/16" thick that i'm considering, with a 4" shackle flip to match my front lift.
I could go 64" spring too, if I do, i'll probably get a lift spring and keep the tension shackle.
The stock lighter rate 56" spring would be cheapest and simplest option, so that is likely what I will do.

Yeah, that very well might be my same rear spring too. Which since mine will be a tow rig, will be fine (with bags of course for heavy towing)
