Thuren has coils of his own design.

He believes in soft springs with the appropriate shock valving. Look at the vids on his site. It seems to work!

He offers everything, and puts together a kit designed specifically for you. His systems are designed with your needs/wants in mind.

Thuren will even do a 6" lift if you wanted.... He even makes the drop down pitman/track bar brackets..... He also sells his components seperately. Want just coils? Boom. Done.

gdh11,

I'd highly recommend you call or e-mail Sean about those coils....you're gonna hate a 23% higher spring rate. Personally, I think the 6% is a little too high, but they're way better than the 23%.

Really stiff....23% is roughly 100lbs/in over OEM.

If it was me, I'd do a lighter spring with a little more free height and back it up with a good shock.

I'm looking into getting something for my truck soon. I wished these kits were more than 3" in the front. I love the look of a 6" kit but want the performance of one these. Is there anything out there like this?? I have around 3-4K to spend.

With that amount of $$$ to spend, I'm sure Don @ Thuren Fab can help you out. He'll make you up a custom kit just like everyone else is talking about.

I fully agree..... I think the 23% coils would be too stiff and you'll end up spending money twice. Been there, done that. It's always better to do it right the first time. Softer coils (or the same as stock) with a good shock to back it up seems to work REALLY well.

Hmm, that setup sounds very familiar.....

Don can set you up with something taller, but get over 3" and you really need new control arms. Don can set you up with those also, but they start eating into your budget pretty quick. With about $3,000 you can get 3" coil springs, 2.5 Kings, towers, track bar, sway bar end links, and the mini pack. I'd bet another $1000 will buy you custom control arms and taller coils. Call Don, he's always willing to help you out.

Nope, no rubbing at all. And I have a set of M/Ts in my garage waiting to go on. Just need to finishing off these A/Ts first.
