Re: wheel hop help
after some fuel delivery problems, i backed the truck up my driveway 4 times from different starting points. other than a little shudder from the engine i didn't have any problems backing up. seems like the stiffer springs helped.

Re: wheel hop help
That looks to me like it's going to be awful stiff.
The flex-o-matic shackle is already on the spring with just the weight of the truck on it.

Why is it that there's seldom time to fix it right the first time, but there's always time to fix it right the second time???
That's not an oil leak
That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!!

Re: wheel hop help
it just looks like it. the arm is about an inch off of the spring. yea, it is kind of stiff but not worse than my dad's f150. i don't mind as long as the wheel hop is gone.70_F100 wrote:That looks to me like it's going to be awful stiff.
