    Trust me I was thinking about it. But the front of my Truck already sits lower then my back and I don't want it even more. I wanna do maybe 7 inch long ones from the top of the frame to make it sit same height but have more swing

    That's a good idea, but while you're at it you might as well throw long junkyard springs in and do it all at once. They can't cost that much.

    Put the bumps back to 4 inch so I can run them farther in the can. IMG_20151008_122956.jpg IMG_20151008_123008.jpg
