It would have been a little higher if I actually had bump stops, buth those rusted off some time ago

....Before I get flamed, I moved that load inside my development for a total of 3/10 mile and never went above idle.

PS I kinda like the look if you put a front air dam on.

I'm thinking of taking the stock 6" blocks out of my 92 W250 and putting some 4" ones from a non IC truck in, since my front springs are shot and the truck sits with a nose down rake. The back of these trucks don't sag unless you overload the @#%^ out of them anyway. The "Time" lowering system has done a number to every one of our trucks that still has stock springs in the front. I may go to the local spring shop and see if they can rearch my main leaf and put some new leaves in there. I don't like the skyjacker springs where you have to remove the bushing sleeve for the 92-93 5/8" bolt.

Hey Michael, next time u got a heavy load give me a call and we'll put your tires on my truck. By the time the fender touches the tire it'll be a hell of a load. LOL I need a reason to get new springs and get rid of the blocks anyway. And hey you need to start marketing, you got the WV gauge mount and now the WV lowering kit.

It was around two yards, I know my springs are shot, but I rarely carry a load, so I'm not changing them out just yet.

Hey Sam, you want to be a salesman for my WV merchandice (sp) I can make you a good WV deal
