My stans pipe hit, but I guess thats what happens when you hang 1500-2000 lbs on stock saggy springs. after the lift it doesn't hit.

Well I just got some 3" skyjackers for the front and I hope this will fix this issue.
If I got time this weekend I may be putting them in

What skyjackers did you get? I am planning on a set for my next purchase. I was thinking of a D200cs. Is that what you got? Thanks

I got D400cs, I just went to my local shop and told them I want 3" front springs for 92' cummins. And thats what he ordered for me

I have no time this weekend but maybe this week or next weekend I want to put them in. It should make the difference I need to get the driveshaft yoke away from the down pipe.
