My front cant do whoops to well, Ive never bottomed out either, should I lossen the coils, Im runnin 3.18.600 kings in the front on the truck in the sig, should I swap the springs for differnet ones? When I go through rough stuff it doesnt really float, the back does but the frint takes a beating, and gives the beating to me, I was just curious if this is suppose to be like this. Thanks

600 might be too stiff for your truck

600 springs are perfect for my truck but mine is a dcab with the v6 so my truck is heavier than yours so i say looks for some used coils or go buy new ones from king

I got a v6 if that matters, what does it say on the inside of the door just so I can compare weight.

thanks well, Im not running that long of a-arms, but I think my spring are of, I think My shock are miss filled, my rears were, one of them was cranked up to 250psi when the recomende presure is 150psi, I guess I better go get them checked, andif they need revalving I can get it dont for $70 a shock up here at this place, is that a little high for revalving? can I do it myself?

it sounds like its a valving issue, the spring gives you ride height, v6 extracab should be 550lbs to 600lbs, i take it you have a tc kit, talk to mike at king hes delt with this before, we revalved shock who knows how many times to get them right for the engage lt kit, and played with everything from 500lbs. springs to 600lbs over 300lbs. also ride comfort is individual, but to me you need to revalve....just my opinion

yea thats what Im going to end up doing, where is king located and how much does it cost per shock?

Pretty sure King is in Garden Grove. Give them a call and they will get you a quote. If anyone cares i run a 500 lbs spring on the front of my standard cab with the camburg kit.

k cool, I actually did a little spring tunning today and it rides better but it might still need revalving.
