ride PSI

[DustT31]

Just wondering what pressures yall ride at, to get an idea.


As it sits im only front bagged, with Slam RE-7s

As low as i can ride on smooth roads: around 40 PSI, any lower it drags.
Front maxes out at about 60 PSI. (seem right?)

So anyway post what your pressures are!

[Kenny Pollock]

I can go to 55... but over dips in the road I drag

I usually sit at 65-70 in the front, 30-40 in the back

Although lately I've been doing 65/65

[gotair19]

yall running shocks?

[c.nash]

I ride at like 80psi in the front and like 75 in the back right now but soon to be about 20 -30 psi lower.
and in the front I get get to 190psi before the upper arms hit the stops and about 165psi in the back before the shocks top out.

[Kenny Pollock]

I have shocks

[DustT31]

no shocks yet, will soon, that wouldnt effect pressures would it? i just havnt got around to it

[c.nash]

I only have shocks in the back, none in the front right now, eventually I will though.

[Slam]

Up front ,(no shocks) like 60, or 80, or 120. Out back (Has shocks) 0, or 5.
It does drag a lot tho. With the 60 I can take up reflectors with my front cross mimber.

[DustT31]

what bags? i pick reflectors with 40, full lift happens at 60 on a re7

[c.nash]

I have RE-7s and I could fill them up to 200psi if my shocks and UCAs would permitt it.

[DustT31]

i meant that full lift for me happens at 60 psi, and that i have re7s.

[str8down01]

i have firestones and run 90 in the front and 8 in the rear! the front doesnt leave the ground until i hit 85lbs!!

[SaltyOnionBalls]

I dont have shocks in the front (planning to in the future) and my ball joints are bad, so I ride at 80+ so they dont "clank".

I used to ride at about 50, it all depends on the size of your tires what pressure you should ride at I think.

[DustT31]

and what motor your have.

[Slam]

what bags? i pick reflectors with 40, full lift happens at 60 on a re7

4.3 V6. Airlift bags 2500.

[BodyRoadSparks]

80 in the front w/o draggin, 20 in the back, 140 in the front to clear the tires.

140 to clear the tires? DAMN....
I can turn my 245/70/16 front tires fully in both directions at 0psi, laying frame..

[BodyRoadSparks]

im set up for a 24" rim with a 35 series tire, and i lay rocker.... huge difference.

I guess... but I was thinking that with your stock tires you would be able to clear the tires at a much lower psi.

Did you do the work yourself or have a shop do it?
Because I need some advice and help when I do a few more things for mine. =)

[DustT31]

i dont think hes on stock rims anymore?

[BodyRoadSparks]

im on stock rims but i beefed up the tires to the same diameter as a 24 with tire... overkill customs did the body drop there are also on this forum... draggindually93 and dailydrager95 both in RHM. i know just bout everything bout my truck and the things that were done so what do u need advice with?

[BodyRoadSparks]

im also running firestones up front for right now hopefully switching to slams tomorrow

[c.nash]

Awesome. Well I'm looking to body drop my truck in the future. Which way did you body drop it?

I was looking into channeling mine to keep leg room and not have to chop the frame up too much.

[Spngr311]

I seem to run a little high, but that's because I hate getting stuck on shit - draggin's fun, but getting stuck in speed bumps isn't. I run about 90 in the front and 60-70 in the back.

[Buster]

i got shocks all around, 120 up front, 30 in the back...

[DustT31]

so far i got the lowest ride pressure in the front? damn 4 poppers good for something :D

[Onoma]

i run 200 in the front. all the way up all the time.

[BodyRoadSparks]

ok with the slam re-8's up front im now clearing the tire at 90... huge difference in pressure and ride.

[DustT31]

Damn, RE-8s up front. Bet that rides great, what do you ride at with the 8s up front? And what do you got in the back?

[The Dave Inc.]

32psi all around baby....jk


slambags ftw by the way...i think my buddy has his pockets cut n reinforced for the RE8 on his 1st gen

Wow any picks?

[Onoma]

that has to ride like shit. you dont lock up the control arm?

[BodyRoadSparks]

i ride at 80 to 90 psi, 90 clears the tire.... rides awsome... in the back i have firestone now but will end up moving the re-8's to the back and putting re-7's in front. re-8's up front are just unecassary.

[Onoma]

yes the control arms lock out and i love the bouncing around!

[DustT31]

good luck keeping balljoints together

that RE8s crazy

[Spngr311]

Bouncing around is a bad thing. You have less control of your ride if it is bouncing too much. And why would you do something that is intentionally shorting the life of your suspension components? I mean draggin' is cool - you can just plate up what you drag through or put some plate/blocks on to preserve your frame. But just fucking up your ball joints by locking them up is just stupid.

[Onoma]

i was joking... bouncing around isnt fun lol

i ride as low as i can go. befor i start skipping

Wow thats sick!!!! (thinks to him self.... 15 inc of lift may happen some day lol)

Stock ams, stock spindels and 20's with re 8's!!! Must try this.

[NomaOnAir]

Slam you could also talk to Ryan - BlackEsDime .. he has 8s in the front of his body drop project.

[The Dave Inc.]

yep...when my friend Shane (flnole78) brought it up, Ryan was one of the other couple guys who checked out all the dimensions and such and did it...its nice bc they dont swell out like airlifts

[layinbody73]

just put re7s on the front of my hombre and rideheight for it is around 60. locks out control arms at 90. rear just has 2600s over axle, so normal is around 20

and btw if you're dragging at 40 and maxing at 60, you need to check over some things. that doesnt sound right at all

[Bucket@AD]

currently 30 in the rear RE8's
60 in the front RE7's.


Once I get the bed repositioned my rear will be lower :D

[Slam]

Yea the re8's would be down the road for me.

[DustT31]

and btw if you're dragging at 40 and maxing at 60, you need to check over some things. that doesnt sound right at all

ya, i checked everything out, it all seems ok. i get enough lift, its locking out where it should, it lays, idk. im thinking maybe its just cause its light with it being a 4-banger std. cab? :dunno:

[Onoma]

do you lay crossmember or do you skip it when you drag dust?

[DustT31]

i got tire rub, just barely but enough, so i dont drag really. i skip at 40 psi

Skiping is for little grils.

















Just messin man lol

[DustT31]

no it really is, i need to fix this shit. i wasted money on smaller tires that look ghetto and STILL rub!!!! Once they pave my dirt road i want to do trailer fenders, but i also have to bag the rear first...... If I dont sell this POS
