    so....I put this new suspension on my car. slightly softer springs, which meant I needed to ride a bit higher (was already rubbing quite a bit....), which meant I needed longer rear shocks. So, I put in a different setup, which, unfortunately required me to put a bunch of preload on these springs.


    well....the setup was a LOT longer than the old, and the springs really didn't compress at all.......so now my car sits like this:

    apparently I missed my old lifted wagons more than I thought :laugh:


    already ordered new shocks. they should be here tomorrow.

    not going to run it like that.....I've already got a rear DOJ in rough shape......running that much angle will surely kill it in no time.

    already got that stuff off, and am going out shortly to put a different setup on there.....
