Re: finished suspension

+1 for the Hellwig and spring swap!!! Some of the best money you can spend on an EX!

Re: finished suspension

Did you add any extra leafs to the B pack? I had to on the F codes to keep from bottoming out on the overload and to keep the rear higher than the front.

Re: finished suspension

i took the bottoms off the old ex springs per caryt how has played with these and made a perfect rear spring combination and i think he's correct because i really like the way the truck rides .

Re: finished suspension

For those later excursions with a factory rear sway bar, is the hellwig still a big improvement?
