Having driven Mikes and the wife using his TB for a week. I can assure everyone they are nice. The wife even really liked them, but did not know what she was liking. Just said it rides so nice, maybe I need one of these, but not as tall as yours.

They settled in good?

by **bartonmd** » Fri Jan 04, 2013 4:13 pm

Yeah, they are now great! As I noted, a little stiction in the seals when new, but after ~1k miles or so, they worked in really well. You'll probably have to adjust the springs after they get broken in, about that time, too. Mine maybe settled 1/2" or so in ride height, then have stayed there.

Yeah same here.. Hopefully this weekend or soon i will get the vehicle re-aligned. I have only had one person align it perfectly. Everyone else gives the cars the wheel wobble in 4x4.
Need to post pics sometime. So busy with job and other activities.

Awesome, you'll love them!

Just wait a few weeks for them to break in, and they'll smooth out really nicely!

Oh man... how long did you wait for them?

I ordered a set and was forced to cancel 3 weeks later as I needed the money back to move half way across the country on 2 days notice. Johnny told me that when I requested to cancel Radflo had just finished making my set so I wouldn't be able to cancel, but some other guy had just ordered a set. So he ended up refunding me and sending the set that was built for me to the other guy.

Anyway, I envy you. I can't wait to get my finances back in order to get another order in.

Edit: Looking back, your post on the 3rd saying you ordered them would pretty much confirm that it was you. Man they're nice. :finger:

Not too long. Theyre going on tomorrow as soon as I get out of work and suit up for working in 10 degree weather. :thumright:

We'll be lucky if they're on this time next week with the way you're slackin. It's a shame I'm never going to see em cause this flu is gonna kill me.

Installed radflo coilovers last night in the 0 degree weather wasn't too bad..

Took the truck for a ride around the neighborhood and at first I could tell the ride was 100% different then the 89s and 2.5 lift kit. I went looking for all the crap rides and pot holes, speed bumps which wasn't very hard and not one time did I top out which was very pleasant. On bumps where I'd usually have my butthole puckering I rode over like it was nothing. More road tests will follow, but overall I am very pleased with the install.

Do these have more downward flex than the factory struts allow us to have?

It's not so much that the struts are the limiting factor. CV angle is THE limiting factor. That's why the big top spacer only lifts aren't good for the 4x4 trucks. Put a big enough top spacer on the truck, I think .75" thick is the max, and your CV's will lock up at full droop. To be more specific, the stock struts can exceed the other limits of the front suspension/drive train already.

The shock is mad for the stuff spring unlike the bilstein and the 89s I do not top out but other wise it's relatively the same.
