Does the front of your truck DROP when everyone gets in?
It's funny...when I get in with my two friends (my two friends are good size, one is 2fitty, and the other 2nuttin, and I'm buckninety) get in my truck to go cruising, the front of my truck instantly drops 1-1½". Does your truck do that? Or is that a CLEAR indication that my factory springs are shot? (The shocks and ALL bushings are brand new; DT's/PST throughout)

The springs on my '86 were completely shot. I would imagine yours are too, being older. The ride sure improved when I replaced them.

We had 4 guys in my friends truck (one about 150, me about 220, another about 240, and another around 180). That was interesting.
