Re: Barn raising

It rides real nice for it's stance. Most of the coil springs lowered trucks I have had or ridden in have been too bouncy. Made sure I did this one right and spent the money on better components.
A couple more tweaks to get it just right;
I had been switching back and forth from the 250# to the 300# springs in the rear and settled on the 300's mostly because I am leaving it a long bed now so it may need to hold more weight sometime.
I also lowered it another 2 inches with lowering blocks so I could still maintain 3" of travel in the shocks, it is now a true 4/6. I made the blocks myself because I could not bring myself to spend $90 on a couple of blocks of aluminum with holes in them. Although I liked the rake I still wanted it to sit a little more level.
