Wheelers 8 leaf pack 2" lift WAAY too high? Wtf!

LMAO I have said it before and I'll say it again - I love this forum

 

All good information folks, thank you!
I'll be damn sure he torques the bolts correctly.

 

Damnit it almost choked on my drink when i read that! Thank you!

 

Ok, I dropped my truck off this morning w/ a list of list of install mistakes that needed to be fixed. I also made sure that he didnt fully torque the bolts to factory specs until the suspension was under a load, aka sitting on the ground.
Thank you "Clearwater Bill" & "DCSBFTMFW"!!

When i picked it up today all the problems had been resolved!
The front now sits 1" lower than the rear, rather than the front being 1" higher than the rear.

Im not sure how much lift i have exactly, Measuring from hub center to the bottom of wheel well (plastic fender extension) the front sits at 23" the rear sits at 24".
If anyone knows what the oem center hub to wheel well distance is i would love some info.

I'll post some pictures as soon as it stops raining and the sun comes back out.

 

They settle down over time. The springs are heavily arched out of the shop usually. My springs settled in about an inch or so (but I have Deavers.)

 

Jeeeeebus!

 

Sweet jeeebus is right!!
Imagine my dismay when i saw it for the 1st time.
My mechanic thought it looked awesome, I strongly disagree.

 

That's 2-1/4" in the front and 3" in the back over stock.

 

350 later.

 

350 Miles later.

 

What size tires are on the pickup in that picture?

 

Worn out 265 75 16

 

@bodhi armor how are your wheeler leaf pack after a few months. I was interested in getting the same springs for my 17 when it comes in. Mostly concerned about the ride.

 

After long radio silence....

Now at 7,500 miles I couldn't be happier! The ride quality is everything I hoped it would be.

Clay7160- I HIGHLY recommend the wheelers off road 8 leaf pack. They claim to be butter smooth and they do not disappoint.
They're like "the three bears" kids story. They're not too hard, and not too soft, but juuust right.

They say your towing capacity is slightly reduced and they will sag a little more with a heavy load but not that much. I recently carried 2--350lb boulders in the bed of my truck about 60 miles and they handled it very well.
They are top notch.
