Default took my overload spring out

and now its bottoming out like crazy and has wheel hop... only dropped the rear 3/4" but i just ordered a djm c notch and should have that on soon. also was debating on caltracks but was wondering if they will fit since i have shackles and hangers in the back? also should i get a shorter rear shock? and im getting 90/10 shocks up front.

Sounds good, but the Heim (sp) joints have to be ordered, the steel we can get that at the metal store...

Are you getting a weld in C-Notch or a bolt-in?

Sounds good, I will price out the stuff and let you know the price of the componets before I order them, so you want long bars or caltracs?

BTW after you install that cnotch I can run a bead around it if you want...
