I have bought a 1990 Sierra w/t
1.6ltr G16 carby engine
31''mt on 15x8sunnies
2''body lift
2''suspension lift
extended shackles
driving at 30ks on fire trail few bumps and holes suspension is very hard and stiff rattles the sxxx out of you how can i make it a more comfortable ride even go a bit quicker,have taken air pressure down to 20psi
have a stock 1987Sierra rides like a dream compaired to Sierra above

Take the extended shackles out...Replace with standard.
Will give you back some lost shackle angle and ride a lot smoother.
After that you might want to drop a leaf or two out of each spring.

I bet they are Kings springs

my suspension was the same, i didnt have extended shackles but felt like i needed a to see a chiro afta drivin. definately drop a leaf, ive taken a leaf out of each pack and gonn a take another out of the rears. how many leafs in each pack?? also agree with want 33's changing shackles will make considerable difference.

I get thrown about when I go over the new bitumen where there used to be potholes! Let alone anything over 10mm high...

Mine used to hit the bump stops if I ran over anything
higher than a thong. Not very fun over
the corrigations off road.

I used to race on em, no problem's, the only time any one bent one was if thay hit some thing.

To the original question, what want33s said & 20 psi should be your street pressure, off road you should drop down to around 15 psi.

removing a leaf is pretty easy with only basic tools required

Hey steknig it's all cool, if people keep baging the kings we should be able to get them cheaper.

Pete, out of interest what combination are you running, what part number kings (there are 3 variations available), what shocks, what size wheels and tyres.
