I added 3 inch dropped leaf springs (front & rear) along with two inch drop blocks. The truck rides great but when I hit a dip the bumper stops are definitely hitting the frame. Has anyone trimmed these down so that aren't hitting so regularly? I'm not ever going to have really any heavy loads in it so not worried to much about metal hitting metal but do want some protection obviously.
Thanks for the time and help.

Try a longer shackle, it will raise it a little, but so much you notice. I put rear shackles on the front to raise mine after getting softer rate springs made. Just the 1" longer shackle helped over speed humps I have to cross. The ride hight didn't change much at all. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2014 Posts: 49 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2014 Posts: 49 |
