front dro setup.

Blazed22s · 03-31-2008, 06:43 PM

i looked around on here, couldnt find pics. just wondering how you all did your front cylinder and coil set-ups. or just how you mounted the cylinders and such. pics would be appreciated! i have an idea, but just wanting to see how it has been done.

also, what size coils did you use? 1/2 ton, 1 ton, what?

itzmeto · 04-01-2008, 12:27 AM

you can run it like what ive got done i dont have pics but coil under is what guys usually do up front....as for the coil all depends what u want to do...i got pre-cut 1 tons and i love em'....for mounting the cylinder just make the shock bolt hole bigger with a whole saw then install your donut...ill try to get pics...

Blazed22s · 04-01-2008, 10:03 AM

well i have barnyard lower control arms, so i have a flat plate on the bottom, and the way i was thinkin i could run them was to mount the bottom of the cylinder to the control arm, and then put spring around the cylinder body and weld the upper donut into the spring pocket so i wont move.

the end result im wanting is to lay on my 22's and still have a decent ride with a lot of lift. i lay right now with bags, and get plenty of lift. but im about to BD and want a couple extra inches of lift to clear the wheels after the BD.

Blazed22s · 04-01-2008, 10:51 AM

kinda like this.

and then have the upper donut welded to the inside of the spring pocket.

my suggestion is to NOT run SPRINGS. use accumulators. they ride FANTASTIC. springs will just make you hop all over the road when driving and you will hate it.

well from what i have been reading if you just run accumulators, then the cylinder acts like a shock, and the seals will wear out a lot faster and start to leak. and if you run the coils, they will take the abuse of the road, not the cylinders.

i'd imagine if you run the right size coils for your vehicle, it should nice, and not bouncy, and your cylinders wont go through seals as quick

itzmeto · 04-10-2008, 10:01 AM

i got one tons and it rides better than stock no doubt about it....1 tons coils and 8 inch cylinders....no shocks, no accums...

juiced dimebag · 04-10-2008, 01:16 PM

ya i see what ur talkin about u want to do a coil over on the front that is how my truck is setup.the reason mines setup like that is cuz i made my own a arms so the bottoms dont have coil pockets. i run a coil over and accumulators and it rides pretty good

Just "pretty good"?!

I've heard from guys runnin just accums that say their S10 rides like a caddy.

I've also heard grom guys runnin just springs that say their S10 rides way nice.

Does having both counter-act the purpose of the accums?

Or does it just need tuning?...via accumulator pressure...

juiced dimebag · 04-13-2008, 04:41 PM

the only reason i have accumulators as well is because my spring is very small on my truck so the spring bottoms out quickly so i have accumulators for the rest of the distance

oops2low · 04-13-2008, 09:00 PM

i ran 1 tons on my old dime with accums an it rode kinda crappy. but it also depends on the pressure thast you are runnin the accums at. too high of pressure an it rides like a rock. too little pressure an they will bounce all over the place. so ya just have to find the correct pressure. i have been readin up on it an it looks like it is gonna be around 350-400 psi in your accums.

i run both to keep the cylinder from wearing the seal too much ...BUT it also will help to run both if you ARENT running a sway bar i got 10"s in front on super modded arms for lift and drop and i love the accumies and springs on the front. i use stock s10 coilos cut down as well not any specific springs for hydro use. you gotta find what works in your case but its good to see what everyone else does for referance.

Squeek · 04-24-2008, 10:38 PM

i took brand new rear springs for an 80's cutless, and cut one in half for each side. worked pretty nice for me

fill up your accumies to the max {350}psi and drive/release acordingly

what "rear" springs? as in what stock? i thought they were leaf sprung from the factory?>>>>>if they had coils was i fvckin lost or what

lol yup factory coil springs

getto · 04-29-2008, 09:47 AM

wow im lost, but ne way you just gotta find what coils work for u. ive used camaro coils in front of juiced minis and they work alright as well, kinda gotta just trial and error it ya know?

InkedNJuiced · 04-30-2008, 09:49 PM

Anyone have pics of how they mounted the front cylinder?

Just drilled out the shock hole with a doughnut or what?

getto · 05-01-2008, 11:37 AM

dont know if these help but its all the pics i got in any detail, i run lower cups and springs no do-nut

InkedNJuiced · 05-01-2008, 02:07 PM

So the lip on the cylinder just sits in the hole you cut out?

5.74x4 · 05-02-2008, 07:55 AM

Getto- I hope you have major reinforcing on those uppers. The ones on my truck were cut like yours but not as far down and I hit a bad pothole once and the truck started shaking really bad, i figured i knocked it out of alignment but after i got home i saw that the passenger side arm had folded almost in half. Not trying to be a dick, just letting you know what happened to me.

no the spring hits the top and disperses the pressure evenly around the frame, i run srings and accumies. i could take some more this weekend if i remember to and try to post em, sorry it was so fvckin big i forgot to resize but figured youd get the idea...also i have a plate welded inside the frame but not a real donut per say but acts similiar to one.

no doubt, im not sensitive dude, if some one sees something and makes a legitimate query about what im doin i will not get pissy, your not being a dick at all just lookin out, i only get raggt when know it alls tell me how much better they do/can do and find out they dont even have anything close built but have the nerve to bash everyone else, so i take no offense bro, i actually thank you for the heads up, but im plated and crossed up like a old caddy lowrider arm.

***98layinframe*** · 05-02-2008, 11:48 AM

damn dude... why not smooth all those cuts out with a grinder and or a flap disk atleast to clean it up a little before ya painted it all? Sorry but it just really doesnt look that safe with the upper arm all torched out like that with no reinforcement of any kind or the upper balljoint with the missing bolt and lastly the washers to angle it i assume?

ALso the lower arms.. there again, why not make the filler plate bif enough to cover the entire area and weld it all in and smooth it out?

It's getto ya dig?!

Have you played with your pressure at all?

I remember reading your ride wasn't that great...??

Thanks for the input

WTF is that...why are your uca's cut so freakin much...what the hell is bolted to the lca?...your cups are upside down....you missed a couple of welds...why is the spring pocket cut out as if it was bagged!...your missing a bolt on your ball joint...c'mon dude im sorry but its ppl like you ruining the sport....one hit of a switch and all hell is going to break loose...please do not drive this thing down the road you are going to end up killing some one or yourself...this looks like a pretty ghetto setup man...sorry to be the one to break this to you!

i rushed a little to get some paint onall my sussp. its redone and yto answer why its cut so much?? i have 7" bodydrop so i had to clear the frame, i have redone the frame and as a matter of fact, i am hittin switches right now, its all good, but i see y u would warn me it looked like shit, i just tried to podst some pics to show this dude how i was runnin my shit but your not breakin anything to me, now you cut 3/4 into your door on 20" and see how u make out?? i was learning and have since better welded my frame, as far as the missing bolt ye4s i am but i also scrapped the shitty bolts and replaced with grade 8 i was just tryin to give this kid an idea of my front setup, im not perfect and i have also re gusseted my frame and the spacers on the balljoints r to shim them to lay on the wheels, not a daily, but is redone a bit cleaner./strongr but dont have finished pics to show how i did my front.but thankws for tryin to shit in my cereaql, i love all these internet proff. who love to bash everyone, if i did so shitty why not try to help me instead of ripping my head off? if u were that concerned y not tell me how to fix?? peiople love to point shit out but never like to nhelp someone fix? thanks a lot bro but im not as dope as you and itg took me 2 sets of a arms to do it right but i didnt see anyone else give this dude any real ideas so i posted what i had, i guess i will go back to being a hermit and not trty to help anyone here like everyone else, and before you talk some more shit, this dude is in no way new to this he was lookin to get some ideas and i was givin him a "basic guideline" my truck is a shitloaqd lower then yours so i neede to do alot more to minr then you. i have redone the front of the truck was just tryin to post what i had since no one really gave this cat any ideas but worry not oh so perfect i prolly will bounce like mad other dudes cause of the perfectionist bulshit, instead of talkin so much fvckin shit y dont u proceed to help someone if they r so inneed of it??? isnt that what this shit is for?? but i guess im a hurb and you r doored on 20" so i will fvck right off into my hole, oh and ps how come when people have legitimate ??? no one really trys to help but as soon as they can bash the shit out of them the posts flow like water?? if you were that concerned you should have told inkedandjuiced whaty to do to fix what i posted but aqpparently your life lacks any kind of rightousness only proffesion and you can do no wrong....thanks for the input but y not help instead of talkin so much yang???

Not trying to be a dick, just letting you know what happened to me. no doubt, im not sensitive dude, if some one sees something and makes a legitimate query about what im doin i will not get pissy, your not being a dick at all just lookin out, i only get raggt when know it alls tell me how much better they do/can do and find out they dont even have anything close built but have the nerve to bash everyone else, so i take no offense bro, i actually thank you for the heads up, but im plated and crossed up like a old caddy lowrider arm.
