Stance
« on: 15 May 2005, 20:33 »
My cab seems to sit with the rear down a bit, is this normal?



I have contemplated replacing the front springs with lowered ones to compensate??

Any suggestions?

Mine sits lower at the back than the front slightly, could pobably do with having a more square on shot of your cab and off the kerb though.  :wink: I've lowered mine a couple of months ago on a budget lowering kit called streetline from Euro Car Parts and can recommend it and you get a 10% discount if you use ECP in Leeds through Stuart. It has Bilstein shocks and Ventura springs and lowers about 40mm. See pics below of my cab before it was lowered and after it was lowered, you'll probably see that the front does sit slightly higher on both. The first pics aren't great but you can get the idea and it is parked across a hill that's why I did the pics from both sides.  :smiley:
