if i put 3 inch blocks on my ZQ8 ,, can i use the stock bilstien shocks?

 

[XtremelyClean]

yeah but you're gonna bunny hop like crazy

my shocks go on tomorrow, the last 3 weeks with a 2/3 drop and no new shocks have been embarassingly bumpy

the stock shocks will be fine. you need to remove the rear bumpstops. that is ussually the problem. blocks do not change the travel in the shocks at all.

:stupid:

not true, i have a 2/3 drop and bounce like crazy

I'm bagged with my stock shocks, and 4" blocks and I have no problems. I guess the bags help...

have you removed the bumpstops?
i have both a bone stock 03 zq8 and a 98 zq8 with a 2/3 drop. both ride the same. which is pretty bouncy. they are lowered trucks with no weight over the axle, kinda what they do. imo

i also have 3 inch angled belltech blocks, i removed the bump stops and have no problem, the reason it rides like sh*t is because your bump stops are contstant bottoming out...

Did you remove ALL of the bumpstops? the guy that installed mine only cut a little bit off of the bumpstops, at first it only hit every now and then, now about 4,000 miles later....it bottoms out very easy! should i have the rest of the bumpstops and the brackets cut off or just get a little bit more cut off? thanks....

Yes cut off the entire bracket and it will ride smoother.

 

[SSVortec]

both of the brackets on the rear end, cut them off!!! lol, its very easy, you can do it your self with an angle grinder

the entire bracket and all of the bumpstop?? or just the bracket?

 

[XTREMENX]

Yeah same problem here. Going to have to cut the bumpstop brackets off. Every little bump hits hard. Maybe it's a good thing though, keeps me from speeding LOL. I will be cutting my brackets off soon, and hopefully it will fix the problem.

once you cut off the bracket there will be no bumpstop left.

 

[SSVortec]

yea, the braket is waht holds the stop on the truck, be sure to spray some rustoleum on there are you grind it all off to prevent rust on the frame

Damn you've gone 4,000 miles without cutting that bracket out? i only went 30 miles and said damn this sucks. So i cut um out and haven't bottomed out since. Just cut the whole thing out...
