Re: need help.

Did you keep your original springs and is the truck complete so there is weight on the front end?

Re: need help.

is the spring in the pocket correctly...??? also if you put a 92 2500 ( under 7300gvw) disc on it you can keep your 6 luggers

Re: need help.

its on jacks but i jacked up the control arm till it came off the jacks to check it. and yes it is in the pocket right. the 20's im puttin on it are a tad smaller than the tires on the rallys which makes it look like its not lowered i guess. it barely kinda edropped it 2 inches when it advertised 3(i figured it would actually be 2.5 inch) oh well.. also i got some 3 inch drop springs from cpp and they didnt do anything at all. ive checked and measured a lot and they just didnt drop it any. has anybody else had this problem? drop springs not dropping your rig? thanks guys
