I ordered new front springs for my truck from Custom Suspension and they arrived today so I tore into it and completed the install. This is how the truck stance was before I removed the old junk........
As you can see my front end was pretty much sagged out. The bottom of my oil pan was level with the top of the front axle.
The old spring pack was 2 1/4 inches thick........ 6 ply
The new parabolic spring is also 2 1/4 inches thick.......3 ply
I checked the yoke angle with a protractor before and after the install and there was no change......
Final installation with the axle hanging.......
And the final result at sundown........
The installation went very well and bolted up nice. The oil pan now sits 3 1/2 inches above the axle so my total gain was 3 1/2. They are a soft ride spring so my ride will improve drastically. I was told that the lift would be 2 inches above stock so I guess my stock springs were bagged out 1 1/2 inches. I complimented the install with a new pair of bilstien shocks. After 20 years I finally have my truck sitting on the level.
