    Reduced travel in dampers as well. The mono tube dampers on these trucks use high pressure nitrogen to help support the weight of the truck, and as you know, attached at the frame and LCA. Increased distance here means you have less droop, which you also know. So less scientifically, spacers will make them bitches bottom out.

    I had a grand total of about 37 leaves on the ground at the house, precisely what I was expecting.

    Just got back from the the CarCare place and got them to balance my tires, they had to charge me an extra $5 for using more weights than usual but my wobbles are gone!

    Lmao red to red black to black. Routing is the only thing.

    If you want them wired to switch. If just to reverse lights, hot line and red, and black to ground.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    i dont believe you

    Be ye damned to the realm of undamped, trailing arm suspensions for eternity.

    theres no way you could convince me spacers in between mount and coilover reduces droop. in theory, now that you mention it, i can see how it could limit up-travel. but im not sure the shocks would be the limiting factor in the real world. are you?

    Unsure. Though I guess I started off thinking of blocks in the rear and then realized halfway through you were talking about the front. In which case, I'm not sure what percentage of sprung mass is supported by the dampers. In coilovers, it may very well be zero. Where's Brian? Or Matt?

    Upon further reflection, I deduce that it would still decrease droop because the damper itself will still need to be extended into the rebound region as the mount points will have increased distance from one another, as a result of the truck being lifted. Right?
