[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 434453, member: 18789"] What makes you think a spring is backwards? It would be hard to install a spring backwards by accident.... body mounts are a rubber bushing sitting on top of the frame perch from the factory. In your pics above you don't even have that, it's like they replaced the rubber with the lift block which I imagine makes for a harsh vibey experience. Anywho, the rubber bushing is the only spacing of the body mount from the factory. Looks like someone installed a 3" body lift and ditched the rubber bushings. I would ditch the body lift, install new body bushings, leave the suspension alone (i.e. not go back to stock, or at least try removing BL first), fix the DW (probably due to bad suspension bushings) and call it done. Here is a pic of one of my body mounts. Mine is factory except for a 1.25" body lift. So you have the bolt, the rubber isolator that goes underneath, the rubber bushing that sits on top, that has a metal cup on top of it that the body sits on. My 1.25" body lift pucks sit on top of that and the body now sits on top of that puck. Originally, that 1.25" puck would be gone and the body would be sitting directly on top of the metal cup on top of the upper bushing. [ATTACH type="full" width="330px"]119712[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
