OME Question?

[Clunk]

Thanks Clunck71
my truck measures the same.... i must have a 2" lift... I dont like they way it sits higher at the back. could i get a longer spring?

I think if your's measures the same as mine, you could possibly have heavy duty springs fitted on the rear........... do you have a steel or alloy bull bar and do you know if the previous owner did a fare bit of towing? I don't know if there are any identifying marks on the springs to say what rating they are, maybe there's a sticker on them with a parts code?

i have a steel bull bar and brush bars that run into the side steps. i know the previous owner did not tow not much at all but maybe the owner before that... what are my options when it comes to bringing the front up level? could i put a longer spring in it or would i have to put new shocks in the also??

Thanks

I'm not really sure to be honest mate, I'm far from an expert on such matters and am only learning myself....................... like I mentioned before, you may possibly have the same sort of set up as mine, standard duty up from and heavy duty at the rear.............. having a harder set up at the rear will make its back end stick up a bit higher, until you start loading up the boot that is, then will level up.
So you can either change the rear springs to a lighter duty or the fronts to a heavier duty. If it was me I'd leave it............. but that's just my opinion

To get the most from your suspension i would get springs and shocks that are matched/compliment each other ie a shock that will extend/compress to the flex available from the springs if that makes any sense

I don't have 33's yet, they're next on the list but know plenty of people running them with 2in lift no problem
