    well me and 8 people just got back from lunch and i drove my truck
    three of them sat in the cab and the other people sat in the bed and i noticed that with every bump we hit i felt my bumpstops hit the frame
    my question is is there a way i can stiffen up the springs so that wont happen?
    i know i can prolly put a aal on and it will be fine but i need a cheap way to do it cuz i dont have a job yet and i need a cheap and easy fix for around 50$
    any ideas?
