This is a package that will include everything you need to do the coilover swap on 99-06 2WD coil spring 1500 trucks and will include the following:
- AFP 2WD Coilover Brackets (Bolt-on or Weld-on depending on options)
- 2x Viking Double Adjustable Coilover Shocks (Warrior or Crusader depending on options)
- 2x Viking Coilover Springs (silver in color)
- Viking thrust washer and spanner wrench kit
This is meant to be an easier way to order than piecing the kit together. I will be happy to assist in figuring out what shocks you need. If you want more than 1″ of drop you will need to combine the coilovers with a lowering spindle and/or drop LCA or use the weld-on upper mount option. For trucks lifted up to 4″ the stock LCA will work fine. I can help you with this, I just need you to measure from the center of the wheel straight up to the bottom of the fender with the truck on the ground as it currently sits.
I have lower brackets for stock and DJM/IHC lower control arms.
New Upper Weld-on Bracketry Option: These are weld-on upper coilover mounts to replace the stock shock perch on both 2wd and 4wd 99-06 GMT800 1500 trucks. You could call these “long-travel” brackets but I personally don’t like that term as it can be misleading. These require the removal of the factory mounts and need to be welded to the frame. They are laser cut 1/4″ thick steel on the base plate and shock tabs and 3/8″ thick steel for the mounting struts. This utilizes 2 parallel mounting braces instead of a single center one for maximum strength and stability. The mounting angle is offset to insure the shock is aligned with the lower mount to prevent any shock binding during travel. Completely designed in SolidWorks. You will need a suitable welder and fabrication skills (or access to someone who does) to install these (should be welded all the way around the perimeter and top). These are meant for the more serious guy who needs more flexibility with their setup than the normal bolt-on style kits (available elsewhere on my site).

Just got everything installed. Fit and finish was perfect. Richard was a massive help and answered a lot of questions that I had. He went above and beyond and worked with me. Truck rides so much better than the Belltech street struts that I had in. Dropping some weight and improving the ride quality what more do you want? I told him I didn’t want the truck to be any lower than what it was at. Richard was able to spec out the perfect coilover size wise and my dropped stayed EXACTLY the same. Cant wait to get the rear shock relocation kit installed and tune the suspension to squat and hook.
