my recently purchased '75 5.7 is sagging in the rear, and I'm hoping someone can help me out. The clips are set to highest setting and it's still low, and when I jounce the rear end, there's no movement. here's my questions:
1. what do I have now, the coil diameter is roughly 3.625 (92 mm) X .47 (12 mm). 2. Renegade recommends 200# springs but only sells the coil over kit $350 or so. Where can I get springs for this shock? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Attached image(s)
