[down4thakrown]

i was thinking of buying some 56" tc springs from ord...and i was checking them out and they only sell 4" springs...does anybody else have these? are these meant more for towing then flexing? should i just look for sum off a stock one ton and take sum leaves out?

 

[dfl701]

What are you wanting? Do you need something with less lift?

 

[down4thakrown]

na....look at my springs there seperated. you can see in between them..doesnt that mean there wore out and guna break soon...?

 

[resurrected_jimmy]

[Stomis]

Yeah that or over flexed and put a nice bow in em.

That spring is bent (the top 3, anyway) and axle wrap caused it. It had nothing to do with shocks, shocks don't do a whole lot to resist axle wrap.

How much lift are you running? Shackle flip?

 

[down4thakrown]

yep if irc its a 4 inch lowering shackels and 2" block..........

this is how it sits....with the 81 tub i jus put on......
