I don't know, I can handle it, but most can't. I'd rather have rake then stupid lean.

Are you suspension bushings moving freely? Also over time the spring will lose their "spring" I'd say after you drive it for awhile it will go down a bit too.

Did you torque the spring bushings down with weight on them?

My rough country kit did the same with my truck, looked into the zero rate kit from ord, but figured I could build them cheaper. One inch plate with beveled ends, drill a hole, and just make a new center bolt to attach it to the spring pack. A lot of the ord stuff can be built pretty cheaply if you have a welder and bandsaw, thinking on making my own sway bar disconnects if I ever get time

And then again, some people take their own skills for granted and ASS U ME that cuz they can do it, that everyone can do it. I used to do that alot. Actually made myself look like a real big ass by calling or referring to everyone else as "Stupid" because they couldn't do the things I could do. Just member, we're not all created equal afterall.

The other side of that coin is, you damn sure don't have to worry about failing if you don't at least try.

Now I know you be lying. I don't text and don't even know how to send pics via phone. Except that one time on my old Motorola Rzr when that one girl asked me if I was circumsized cuz her ex wasn't and she wanted to see the difference. :rofl:


And you prolly believe that too. :laughing1:

:rofl: Well, I guess it does look that way doesn't it??? But NO, not quite what I meant or maybe it was, not sure. By all means DO IT, and for those who can do it, then the leg work is done.
Moreless what I was getting at, for those of you who are dangerous with tools, you don't have to fab your own. We all know some people shouldn't even be allowed to own a screwdriver and pliers, but they have a welder and a metal cutting saw of some sort.
