    Impossibru, you can have fully Fabbed 4x4 capable spindles but they won't give any lift

    Idea GreekBro, how about you come by and hook up to my horse trailer and tote me and my ponies around town this weekend.... Ansta-sag! If that won't fix it, you should invest in a MetalMulisha sticker and start wearing your hats backwards bro.

    Honestly, it doesn't look that bad, but it was surprising!

    Yah I'd still recomend getting shorter coils. I bet it turns funny with so much angle on the tie rods. That and it will give you a chance to pick any spring option you want. I had the same problem when I got my 8" fox shocks except I needed a lot of preload because the coils were very short. I sold the coils and bought some brand new eibachs and now they work great and no coilbind :D

    I have a grenade sticker on my truck. What you trying to say?!

    Go with what everyone is saying and get shorter springs and a lighter rate. Or just get a new front steel bumper would fix it to I guess.

    Ill see what I decide to do. In reality its a pain in the ass take them off and swap them with something in the heat.

    Git one of them that swamp kewlers. Haha

    Maybe go to sdhq and see what they recomend as far as springrate. You'll prolly be ok driving it like that till fall if you are worried about the heat.

    I mean the angle the arms are sitting at. The way Nick's are sitting he's got like 0 down travel. That and when the steering tie rods are sitting like that (not as parallel with the road as possible), no matter how you align it, it will steer wierd (not direct, laggy, ect). That's how mine was like when I had my maxtrax and installed icons. They had waaaay to much preload (over 3.5" of thread showing) when I got them. When I set them to about 1" of thread showing it handled waaaaay better on and offroad and had a more direct steering feel.

    Basically you want the UCA & LCA (balljoint or uniball) to be as level as possible. When it sits at an angle due to excessive preload or not enough preload, it will affect how much up or down travel you have. Some people run their trucks with slightly more or less of each but the way nick has it, it won't perform as good as it should.

    Yah I'm sure he wouldn't want to drive it around with the arms like this //\\ lol. Not trying to bash you though Nick. Just trying to help because I had a similar issue and it pissed me off. Lol
