As is right now. I can stand on the edge of the rockers and they don't make a sound nor move. Before, if I stood on the edge of the rocker/door seal w/e you want to call it the would flex and and make all kinds of scary noises.


And I'm about 160-165.

Thanks, I think I'm going to shorten them up a bit. I put them in at max length, but I think the swaybar is just floating around under there.

When I did the 2 inch lift on my '96 I originally ordered the OME medium duty +2 springs from quadratec. Installed with a full tank of gas, a 2x4 wood platform rack on top, and a couple of sandbags and a full-sized spare in the back I had a measured 4 inches of lift. With time they probably would have settled some, but I sent them back for the light duty pack which gave a perfect 2 inch lift. After about a year, they haven't sagged or settled at all. Good springs.

Shouldn't need to. Swaybar should be pointed up a bit near the ends - about 10-15* above horizontal at ride height.

It's a little off but I'm also rolling with a cracked leaf in the rear so I'll wait til I address that first.

Did you measure from factory position or from where you were sitting. Going from -2 to +2 only counts as a 2" lift over stock.
