Is your shock too long??? How did you do that?

[E4x4Eric]

I am sure the shocks are the right length. i've been wheeling it for a while without any pfoblems untill yesterday. I think it's something inside that shock that got jammed

[E4x4Eric]

I need shocks

It's that Calmini sticker that warped it.

I think I got it figured out. The bottom mounts are set up wrong on my truck They should look like this.






And not like this.....

Most setups I see for Spring over have their lower shock mounts placed on top of the axle tube. I wonder why.

i think the lower mount direction is important. the axle on a leaf spring truck does not "twist" like on a linked axle, but it still articulates. are you going to redo your lower mounts?

I started on it today. I just need shocks to finish it up.

Interesting. I now mount my shock mounts opposing each other.

But this is how I had my soa.
