cmoney23 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Does anyone know how many leafs are on a stock leaf spring setup? I think one of mine has been removed. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramer Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 That is normal. By the looks in your sig it is lowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoney23 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Yeah im pretty stumped on this one. Not a shackle, definitely not a hanger, not a leaf. What else is there?

Cramer Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Shocks could be worn out. Post some pics of your leaf springs and bump stops if you can. I just lowered my rear 2" and it sits almost the same height as yours Also take a measurement from the bottom of the wheel (rim itself) to the bottom of the wheel well. Let us know what it is.

cmoney23 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Here's my shackle and its stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoney23 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 And for the bump stop i have 1" of clearance. So its lowered somehow but no clue as to how. It just doesnt seem that if my leafs were so wore out it would drop the rear 2" so it sits level... Stumped.. LETS FIGURE THIS OUT GUYS!!!

ccgoodwrench Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 It could be weak springs from the factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpspecial Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Is the hanger stock.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoney23 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) Oh yeah hanger is definitely stock. Its still riveted in. I think the truck isnt lowered.. I think its sitting stock... Edited October 13, 2011 by cmoney23 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
