Re: Suspension sag

Thanks! When I fix this front end issue I decided I'm going to rebuild the front end as well while I'm under there. Was gonna use the ECE rebuild kit

Anything from ECE will work fine.
They have great parts,... and even better people working there.

Re: Suspension sag

235/75r15 tire is way t big bit remember when you install a smaller tire, the truck will also get lower to the ground. I say take out the bumpstop and mount as Lolife99 said earlier. You should prob crawl under the truck and have a look around and measure a few things and find out why only the pass side rubs. Could just be the big stock size tires but who knows. I run 215/70r15 on the front of both my trucks.

Re: Suspension sag

Well I hope to get new tires here in a week or two. Then I'm going to remove the bump stops and go from there. When I tear off the front clip for the motor swap I've decided to go ahead and rebuild the front suspension as well as put in new drop springs just to feel better
