problem.......

I had lowered leafs with 1" lowering shackles in the back of my truck with eibach 2" drop springs the ride was horrible! so i swapped to stock leafs 6" flip kit in the rear with DJM 2" drop lower control arms and cut 1/2 coil from stock springs truck is riding much much better :) its about a 3.5/6.5 drop

heres my problem in the front i cut less off the drives side coil to help the chevy lean and it did fronts level but the drivers rear is down about 1" from the passenger side how can I correct this? 2nd problem is the front is higher about 1" then the rear very annoying, I really dont want to go any lower in the front how can i raise the rear 1" ?


only thing in the bed is a spare tire and its strapped to sit in the middle of the bed and the tank when this pic was tooken is on empty

parked the truck on level ground and measured from the center of the rim to the fender lip this is what I got

drivers front 15.75"
passenger front 15.75"
drivers rear 15"
passenger rear 15.50"

Well after about 50 miles the rear end leveled it self but now both side are about an inch lower then the front :(
 
What're all you guys with 3" springs or keys doing for bump stops? Mine is completely compressed on the bump stop and is super bouncy. Can't find much on it

How much preload do you have on your t-bars? I'm guessing not much at all. Also, get better shock absorber with adjustable damping. Then, expect to still have a bouncy ride and bumpsteer, lol. Welcome to the lowered game. Takes a lot of little things and/or going custom to get shit right.
 
yeah you can trim them, but I was too lazy, rather spend $25 and buy online, but that is an option for sure

I am referring to fronts by the way, not rear, rear I put pancake bumpstops on that we trimmed from my BT kit
 
I just cut about half of the front off..that way there is still a stop there but it doesnt bottom out on them
