Re: What did you do to your truck today!

after dropping the bb on last week i noticed that the springs I used were just not gonna work.
with only the engine and trans on the frame i had about a 1" travel before hitting the bumpstops. I guess i coulda trimmed the bumps but even bounceing on the frame they felt sloppy and I wouldve not been able to get the floor jack under it with anymore weight on it
so today they came out and were replaced with the ece springs i had for the 4/6 kit,now i'm hopeing these will come down some with the weight of all the sheetmetal and other stuff. these feel alot more stiff when bounceing on the frame.

check out the differnce between the springs the ece springs(center) just look beefy even compared too the oe's
