[QUOTE="redcardinal, post: 434463, member: 19795"] The area that looks like a crack in the frame is from the undercoating coming off. By a front spring being backward I mean that looking at the holes in the end of the spring where they mount to the shackle with a bushing, one spring has a 1 1/4" bushing hole at the front shackle and a 1 1/2" hole on the other end that mounts to the body. The other front spring has a 1 1/2" bushing hole at the front shackle and a 1 1/4" hole at the other end that mounts to the body. Surely this can't be correct, can it? In picture #5 from my original post you can maybe see that the spring shackles on the front end of the springs are different sizes. The one on the passenger side is 1 1/4" and on the drivers side it's 1 1/2". From machoheadgames body lift picture it looks like I have to find new stock body mount parts to make it correct. And, yes, it has a very harsh ride. You can feel every pebble on the road. Lowering the tire pressure from the 38 psi that it had on all 4 corners when I brought it home to a more reasonable 28 psi helped quite a bit though. [/QUOTE]
