I think I found a big piece of my handling issue

Back end of my truck has seemed kind of funky since I got it. Seems to bottom out with no weight, and had a pretty good lean to the right. Also sits very low on what looks like original springs.

The springs didn't look too great, so I ordered a set of 2" lowering springs. Not sure if I want it much lower than that, as I still want the ability to use this as a truck. Anyways, I'm partway through the rear end. Installed new bushings in the trac bar, and swapped out one spring. Have to finish the other spring and put in the trailing arm bushings.

I did take one photo that I find amusing.



New spring is a 2" lowering spring, I believe the old one is an original HD spring according to the SPID.
