Since I’m running long travel shocks with 3.5” coils, my rear springs come loose when both sides of the rear axle droops together. When I stuff one side and droop the other they stay tight. So I would only have a problem if I get airborne, not likely, lol, but it’s also a pain in my ass every time I put it on the lift for anything.
I really didn’t like the idea of putting limiting straps on or near the shocks or springs, didn’t want to have to worry about what they might be interfering with when they were folded, or bunched up at ride height. Also I didn’t want to limit my droop by an inch or so either.
Sooo…. I decided to do one limit strap in the middle or close to the middle. Since I have the truss on the rear diff that the upper control arm hooks to, I decided to weld in a bushing in one of the holes in the truss….. and there’s a threaded hole in the frame…. Not sure what it’s for….maybe they set up the frame rails for the fuel tank to go on either side…..
Ride height…….
I dropped the rear wheels out two different ways and I’ve got plenty of slack both ways.
I’ll have to wait till Sunday afternoon before I can see if it works on the lift….
