Problem with lowering springs

[Gnarley]

Here’s a few pictures of the truck. Going to get this thing aligned tomorrow and tear up some pavement. View attachment 409403View attachment 409404

I'd really like to see some good pictures from the sides with measured gaps in the front and rear wheel arches, How much room do you have above the tires, 2 inches?

I don't understand how I read all these posts about drop kits and springs on this site and the web, and no explanation on how to keep the rear drop springs snuggled into place when put on a lift. I just installed 4" drop springs tonight and it was a major PITA settling the weight down and making sure they lined up into their seats properly at the top.


I can not imagine taking my rig into a shop and getting lifted up to have the tires balanced or some other work on a lift and the rear springs and isolators falling out of place easily. This really has me upset. I have to be able to have this lifted off the ground by some schmuck at a regular shop without worrying about this.

Usually, shocks that coordinate with the drop are what limits the droop.
