rear lowering question

[97Supersport]

Hey this is my first post but I have a 96 2dr 2wd and the guy I bought it from put these leaf springs...belltech sport truck 5960 from summit and its squating too much. Front is stock. But my real problem is it rides like crap. And I need any help to getting a better ride and if possible just level back and front. Thanks a lot

1) what shocks are you running
2) did he cut the rear bumpstops down or just riding on the stops?

 

[97Supersport]

From the looks of it they are factory shocks. And the bumpstops I can tell you tmrw. Recommend shocks?

 

[NORCAL SS]

Usually on those trucks i do
belltech sp shocks
rear short bumpstops
rear belltech shock extenders

 

[97Supersport]

That help the ride? And best place to get it.

i sell all the items. Main thing I need to see how much space you have from top of axle to bumpstops in rear

 

[97Supersport]

Ok man I will check that out tmrw and let you know

 

[NORCAL SS]

all good cause if your not using shorter bumpstops there is no travel in rear

 

[97Supersport]

the bumpstop is a full triangle bushing right? looks to be about 4inches maybe back there. and the shocks are factory and very compressed. what can i do?

 

[NORCAL SS]

can you take a pic of the rear bumpstop?? if its oem i have to set you up with anew one.

here are some pics

unloosen rear shackles and drive around block and then torque down leafs. if its tigthened with no load will bind

that being said you need new rear shocks and new short bumpstops
are your front shocks bad?

 

[97Supersport]
