Advice Needed - Post 2"Suspension and 40mm Body Lift

(1/2) > >>

stuntman:
Hello one and all, firstly I'll list what I've done to the truck.

Remade the sills with box section 60*120*1400*3
Remade the rear x-member with 60*120*?*3
Remade 8 out of 10 body mounts
Remade both inner wings
Remade both front floors
Remade axel bracket on rear left link
Lifted the body 40mm all round
THIS IS WHERE IT STARTED TO GO WRONG
The rear started to droop at the rear right, I then found a split in the rear chassis it doesn't look like this is responsible for the droop as it hasn't seperated, I will re weld this and strenghten it.
I then fitted 265/75/16's and fitted a lift kit yesterday, pro comp +2's, bearmach BA2104's front and BA2102's at the rear (is this the right way round???, BM's website said so) It now looks quite low at the rear.

Has anyone else has it this bad? Also has anyone else fitted BM blue springs and did you have the same problem?

Oh and I made all new brake lines.

(when will this all end!)

Thanks Andi K

i dont now alot about vehicles,but i fitted a 1.5" lift kit,same make as yours the shop advised me to put the taller springs on the front and shorter ones on the rear,the rear looked more saggy then before and the front looked like it was taking off,swapped them around and ot levelled up.i still dont now why the shop didnt now which way round they should go,never mind i hope this helps.

stuntman:
springs are the right way round, i've just checked with BM

BK:
