coolwind57 Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 they need to get a bump stop in there before they bottom out and damage all that good work they invested into.
SatiricalHen Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 My guess would be the clean spot on the shock, second pic. Looks like it’s supported by the frame not the axle tube so I don’t think that’s the amount it gives. They sell these things at the parts store as lift kits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JMO413 Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 That is a special kind of special. I'm guessing they probably spentt more than a pair of lift springs would have cost.

Yes, but I've never heard of or seen them sold as lift kits. Both types of those inserts have been sold for years as cheap ways to "restore" sagging coil springs. I can remember seeing that &^$%* in the old J.C. Whitney catalog when I was still in high school.
strictlyxjs Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 That is some fine appalacian engineering if i do say so myself. Ill play...came into work and this was a zj on the lift. No idea whats going on here
jdog Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Bet the shocks blown out, and instead of replacing it they just stuck that on to stop the bouncing Stock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231.

It notnlike it needed suspension limiting.You wouldnt belive the stuff we see. People up here love to fill their rotted out vehicles with great stuff expansion foam.
