You guys ever seen Bell Tech springs bind up so much?

Recently i been noting the ride being stiffer and stiffer, and the air ride trying to compensate height more and more.

I have my stacked part of the coil at the top of the suspension not the bottom. I was pretty sure that's how it's supposed to go. One of us has the spring upside down?

So its been quite a few years this thread hasnt been updated, but this truck is still around!!!
Broke a ring land on piston number 7, scaring the sleeve beyond repair...so we went iron block, forged the pistons, new cam and stall, injectors and all the other little stuff that costs more than they should :=)
Thought id share with guys here!
