haah yes that does, you dont seem to have the tire squeal issue i do, atleast not in those videos. basically its annoying, and i seem to be wearing out the outside edge of my front tires and wanted to fix that.


i deal with about 3-4 turns like this on my daily drive to and from work. i love them, just dont like the squeal from them.

With your truck at stock height you are getting body roll in the front, but your springs are so stiff in the rear they are causing more roll in the front. Get your center of gravity down lower and get your rear level with the front and it will make a huge difference.

already have done shackles and spring clamps in the back, i know i still need to get the truck way lower, right now the front floats over bumps. i already have noticed a huge difference in the way it launches

Hey guys. Got a question about the ground force drop on a 2004. I noticed I got the blue springs. So is my kit just a spring lowering setup on the front or is it a spindle drop as well?

Thanks

Yes, the front is just a drop spring and shorter shock.

Is it sad that I spent a few hours on a cold St Louis January day to give my truck a much needed bath?
