Well I'm sure yall haven't seen this before, but I'm gonna throw mine out there anyways. In the future I will be doing a full OME suspension swap, but that saggy butt needed to do some squats and get a lift so here she is.
Pre stance and my collie.
Thank you to SouthWest speed for shipping them out on time, not so much thanks to UPS for getting them to me 3 days late. I went with 12in 125lb springs. Don't wanna lift her....yet.
Wheel off, frame on jack stands, about to cut the bump stop and spread them open.
Used a bolt, nut, washer, and impact socket for a spreader to make room for the coil springs.
Remove lower shock mount, put compressed spring onto the lower bumpstop and start decompressing.
And all seated.
The final product. I went with 12 inch 125lb springs to restore ride height. Not ready to lift her quite yet. So much smoother on these NC mountain backroads!
