Re: 72 Lwb

The last one of the three gave me a little better angle / view.. If you can get the camera man up closer, not using the zoom as it make is more bouncy that would be great. That angle though is perfect..

What are you cutting for 60's?

Couple things I notice.

The front is coming up before the truck moves.. You want this as it's putting the weight on to the rear tires. But, you are right, it's not coming up real high. It seems like you either don't have enough stored energy do to the springs being too short, or you upward travel is maxed out. This could cause the front end to come back down and unload the rear tire.

Measure the height of the front fender lip at ride height. Then jack it up by the cross member and see how high it goes before taking the weight off the front tire.. Let us know what you come up with.

Also, do you still have the upper bump stop in place (tucks under the upper control arm). If so take it out.. Re-messure.

Disconnect the front shock. Re-messure.

The 2 large nuts on the upper control arm ends, back those off a touch and re-messure.




How close are you to the lower bump stop?
