mat in tn Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 i think that i can see bump stops there. if I'm right then there is only about 1/2 of travel. however, there seems to be something on the passenger side where the axle meets the springs that I don't recognize. how long are the rear shackles? can you get a picture of the front spring hangers?

mat in tn Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Mat did u get a chance to look at the front springs. I believe they r cut from looking at your springs I believe they have been cut but pics can be deceiving. try to get a measurement of the length of the spring at ride height sitting on the ground. if you need to jack it up to get good access, put solid blocks under the tires and put the trucks weight back on them. jack stands in other places will not give true measurements. car ramps are good. just be safe about going under a truck.

mat in tn Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 These are a couple from my flareside which is stock for this purpose. This is also with stock size tires. i had said earlier that the loaded height should be approx. 13" but obviously mine is not. i must have had unloaded measurement on my mind. I just measured another spring off the shelf, and it measured nearly 16". certainly, they don't compress 4"just sitting. I will measure the lowered truck tomorrow after the bedliner paint is dry.

Cool I appreciate all your help. Hopefully this weekend is a little dryer and warmer and I could get back underneath the truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
