Arrow Give me your opinion....still sagging?

So the downey HD coils were installed...the bj spacers installed...the torsion bars cranked down 15" rim to fender...and it still appears that the rear is sagging....


So i guess i have to get a set of spacers....any good reccomendations?

To me, it is still sagging A LITTLE. I like the rear to sit up slightly higher than the front to compensate for any weight you throw in it. I added new, longer shackles to my pickup because it had butt sag, and it still appears to sag a little bit, depending where I park.

My rig was level with ~14-14.5 all around, after only rear HD springs and no changes to the front, so I imagine you would still look like you are sagging in the rear with the changes done to the front.

here is what i mean, the green lines are flat, the red you can see in relation to the body that the front wheel is higher than the rear cutout in relation to the body


therefore it actually is not sagging, but ti appears that way due to the cutout of the wheelwell

It would drive me crazy like that, that's why I got the HD's for mine, I felt much better with them on (and no adjustment to the front), I just hate the look of rear sag, even if it isn't "really" sagging.

Go ahead and get the 3" kit from downey. comes with extension for pan hard bar, extension for the sway bar, and the 1.5" spacer.

this is my truck when it had 2" bodylift, 3" rear and 1.5" in front on 33's.

interesting picture, but i don't think that works since the perspective isn't straight on.. i think your lines are following an optical illusion.

still looks sagging to me.

I very much doubt if the Downey's gave you 15" fender to rim. Even the OME's don't give that much (I'm at like 14.5") and they seem to give a little higher stance then the Downey's. I'd thrown in a 1" spacer.

I know , I would do what it takes to level it, if you need the clearance, keep the BJ spacers and add some rear spacers or get 3 inch springs; or if you don't need the clearance, just get rid of the BJ spacers.

I can make them if interested. I have done 1.5" as well as the stock 2" spacers, 1" should be no problem:
