New Coil Springs Installed

[Greenleaf]

I installed the Moog springs LAST year and was not impressed with the ride height. I still had a front end rake.



With these new babies. It sets level and much higher. It's evedent by the fact thye front end looks like it's on stilts and I now have to use a sep ladder to reach the middle of the hood while washing and waxing.



Sorry for the poor pics. My film was at it's end on a rainny/dark day.

Now for the good stuff.



These new springs are Car Quest part number 18038. The guys at the alignment shop has a time of it as they said these springs lift the truck too much and have thrown it way out of alignment. I noticed they had to take heat to several of the adjustment bolts to loosen and change the alignment settings. It took some time to do and they still only charged me $45. 00



I feel like I'm in a 4X4... . well not really, but you know what I mean. I'd say it rides harsher now, but I like a truck to ride like a truck.



Cost of the springs would be right around $165. 00, if I recall correctly.

So is it higher in the front than the rear now? My crew will get some stiffer coils when I get a real motor to put in it.

Bill,



Best I can tell, she could be a tad high in the front. Give it a year. They said I'll have to have it realigned to compensate for any sag after some time.
