most times, people over tighten their shackles and springs. check to see if you did the same. also, soft isnt great either.

Ya know i got to thinkin last night about if my shackles were too tight, I have not touched them since i bought the truck, but i did move the front to install the cal tracs, maybe they are too tight? Know the torque spec? I'll see if i can find it

I looked under lil sis when he had her down here in december, but I think he had cal-tracs, relocated shocks and 2 leaf springs on each side tho, not 100% on that either, maybe he had only one I cant remember cause the beer were really good that day! LOL
