Re: oops need some help

Well after cutting out the rear and dropping it on the bump stops.it has less suspension
Travel on the front.The wheel is hitting on the inner fenders.So the truck need to come
up some.So how much would the stock spring lift it up?The springs that were on the truck were not installed right.So I have know idea what the ride highth was if they were in properly.

Re: oops need some help

if your truck is really bouncy in the front end then you need some new shocks, it looks like you got a couple inches between your tire and inner fender now.
