Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

Brian(Photog) asked:> @ AZ Adv: I think you are using factory front springs, and a spacer. This should get your front suspension off of the overload cushion. How is your ride quality, compared to...

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

Booster; I'll find the answers re. shocks & donuts, but not sure I am fully qualified to comprehend all of this. I believe there may have been some major changes from '02 to '09 Chev. in addition...

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

Brian; You are way more patient with this than I am. We have spent 5 months & way to much money trying to get a 2" lift under our '02. The tuff truck coils were completely unsatisfactory causing...

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

I'm still not real clear on lift provided by 22-1175s. We've already installed 2" blocks. I don't really want or need to go much higher. An inch or 1 1/2" additional would be ok. But I'm mostly...
