Re: Drop Coil Questions
So...you put in the new coils and they are loose?
Or...You are saying you have no upper bumpstops installed and the old spring is loose? Which sounds possible to me... |

Re: Drop Coil Questions
Once the suspension compresses to ride height... they'll tighten up.

Re: Drop Coil Questions
That's normal for 3-4" drop springs. I have 3.5" springs in mine and they are completely fine when the truck is on the ground. The only PITA is making sure they reseat properly whenever you're letting the truck back down on the ground.
