Looks good!!

Can you get some measurements for me? Im trying to have a custom coil made, but I don't know if or how much my stock coils are currently sagging. I want to compare yours to mine.

If you can or have time measure from the ground to the center of the front fender with the tape measure aligned with the axle.

My truck with the stock springs and NO coil spring isolator measures 39".

Also my tires measure 31.2"

This would be a HUGE help!!

Try to get a measurement for you tomorrow. And yep just as I thought, rear end was a little low today! I would guess the gross trailer weight was around 10k.

If you want to see what's in the trailer, check out WWW.scottsrodsandracefab.com. had the car called PePe in this yr, got to haul Mr. Fab last yr.

Got it measured, it was pretty much right at 40", but its a gravel driveway, so it may not be exact, oh the 285 tires are just under 33".
