Re: pretty dissapointed. (track results)

have been thinking the springs were to stiff now i think they might not by stiff enuff. there is no bounce in suspension seems to be to stiff heres my measurements

all measurements with truck on ground

before

shock bolts center to center

L 12 3/8 R 11 1/2

after

12 11

spring loaded

before

L 10 1/4 R 11

after

9 3/4 9 3/8

the right side was obviously preloaded the guy that did it said it would help with traction. i got them as close as i could to equal.

another thing when i let vehicle down it seems to me the shocks are compressed most of the way if not all the way. when i place jack under rearend 1 pump and tires are off the ground (as if the suspension is already compressed.

please feel free to ask for any more measurements that can help address this issue.
