Doetsch Tech vs. Doetsch Slammer...??

[Marcos]

Sweet...

[x97chevy]

I got my shock put in this weekend and the damn thing rides like my Benz so smooth in the turns feel really nice and firm for it being bagged I am gonna order a set for my rear ones soon

[bizzybone485]

So which ones did your get x97chevy? I'm curious on your wheels setup as well.

[x97chevy]

I got the slammers from doetsch and my whhel setup is 20x9.5 Budniks will be looking into getting these same wheels the Grid 5 in 22 maybe for the summer if budget is right

[bizzybone485]

9.5 all the way around? If so im really interested in how you got the front to fit? Are you running stock control arms?

[x97chevy]

yeah stock arms and 9.5 all around the back spacing if I can remember is like 5" I can measure it if you want?

[bizzybone485]

thats interesting cause ive been doing backspacing calculations all weekend trying to get a setup i want (because i want wider rims) but not sure if i wanted to go all the way around and now that you speak of them working on bags i could do i should be able to do it with ease on a 4/6 possibly a 5/8 lol....with a smaller tire. What are you running as far as tires? A guy on here is running a 9.5 inch rim on the front and 11 inches out back but with 17s and he was having a lot of problem with the the control arms hitting the wheels but i guess it only happens with wheels under a certain size!

[x97chevy]

Im running 255/35/20 and it does rub a little bit on the fender I cant tuck the wheel but I wasn't going for that and also remember I have those cool running boards which hide the offset alot if you go to do it I would give it more backspacing so that you can tuck the rim

[bizzybone485]

how are you not tucking and your sitting that low? Are you talking about in the front that your having the problem?

[x97chevy]

yeah that is right I tuck fine in the back but the front without the running boards would lay right even with the fender I still hit it at times and I trimmed the lip if you want I will take a picture latter on today so you can see what I mean

[bizzybone485]

yeah dude i would really like to see some pics if you dont mind taking them.

[bizzybone485]

just ordered some myself from doestch tech. Is everyone running the nitro slammers? These are the ones that i like cause of them being extra firm but are they hard on small bumps? This was the only real thing that i was worried about but from nitro actives that are over 4 years im sure this will be a great improvement. Thanks

[x97chevy]

your gonna love these ill get some pictures soon I have the truck apart right now so haven't had a front rim on to take the pictures sorry man

[almost_low]

are the slammers good with a 8 in rear drop?

[bizzybone485]

ive heard that they are best for lowered trucks cause they are made specifically for them. Ive also heard a lot of people running them on a 5/8 6/8 drops so i would say that your good to roll them on your truck. I cant wait to install mine to see how they ride. Im so sick of the old Nitro Active's. One of them is even missing the whole bushing so theres a lot of play when hitting bumps. Ill update this when i get the new shocks installed for everyone. I should have them in about a week or so.

[bizzybone485]

and yeah.... x97 chevy...if its not too much id like to take a look at pictures.

[bizzybone485]

ill get some pics of the ones that they send me. I didnt realise that i forgot to ask them for the firm ones but at this point i wouldnt be dissapointed if they send me the soft ones for the nicer ride. Gotta give something to get something. If thats the case ill just get a rear sway bar. More reason to upgrade...haha

had techs on my truck and it rode great. id go with those.
