Magic carpet ride
Well not really but a much improved ride, from an earlier thread on modern shocks I almost give up on my install of Ken's shock because the front spring had so much sag the fronts shock had little or no travel. You all advised that the front spring replacement was not that big of deal so I ordered a new spring and after some harsh words got the new one it put in.
I now have about 2.5 inches of travel on the shocks which is good but what I now notice is the driver's side sags about an inch more the the passenger side.I have never notice this before but it may have been there, the question is why? Yea I know that's where the fat guy sits anyway any easy fix for this? Also here is a picture of the new spring and the old spring to show you how much sag there was. |

Re: Magic carpet ride
Are you saying you can take some of the sag out by loosening the ubolts and retightening them evenly? My front in is sitting a little low.

Re: Magic carpet ride
As the others have suggested plus is the spring centerbolt in the hole?? Where (vendor) did you get the new spring?? Did top leaf have a bevel so it fits up into the crossmember??
