Re: Fixing saggy rear w/coil over shocks?

Well I bought the Gabriel Coil-Overs the other day and put them on yesterday. They delivered the effect I wanted, the rear is just *slightly* higher than the front. Since I went from DEAD shocks to these I can say that the ride is much more controlled, but I also put 32x11.50R15 MT/Rs on it last Sunday and have put more miles on the truck in the last week than I had the entire first year I owned it.

I wished I had measured it out before I put the shocks on, I didn't think about it. I might go back and pop them off to see how much height I lose.
