Do you guys think I'll have problems the way my springs are sitting on the bottom? They seem to have settled more off center than other photos I've seen on here. I'm using the Black Magic 5" ID 13" long 125lb springs. I have a 1.5" rake without my normal load, when driving I have around 210lbs of gear in the back (60lb kayak, 50lbs of fishing/yakking gear, 100lbs washdown setup that includes a little less than 14 gallons of water)

Seems like brackets or clamps to keep them centered would be ideal, has someone found or made something already? I haven't seen any photos or I missed it.







The tops are a perfect fit....

You will need to make a lower spring mount that will allow you to also use your existing u - bolts. That's why everyone cuts the Upper bumpstop and uses the 2.5 inch ID springs. They fit pretty snug around the lower bumpstop

Since you already have the springs, a bottom mount is about your only choice. I have never seen a bottom bump stop like that. Most are more pyrmaid looking with a flat top. Those hold the spring in tight.

Making a bottom mount is pretty easy...then your good.

thanks guys i'll have to start looking and coming up with a bottom mount. That's what I was thinking also snobdds, they are originals that came with the truck though, everyone else seems to have the ones you described from the photos i've seen.
