Currie 3" Spring Sag

[motomick76]

It seems there have been quite a few treads lately on Currie springs, and I am going to add to the pile. Anyone have seen Currie springs sag? It seems to me my Currie front have sagged. or maybe it is the way they are? Looking for a bit of help. This is how she currently sits, there is 2" of travel in the front and almost 4.5" in the rear. There is quite a bit of rake to it. I do not have alot of weight in the front, the LS took away almost 100lbs compared to the 4.0, and I have my bumper and winch, nothing abnormal.

I got the springs in late 2015, and have only driven it about 3,000 miles since installation. It has sat almost 3 years without an engine, tranny, xfer, or front clip.

Here is an idea of how I think it should sit, but I could be wrong. Here it is almost level, just a little lower in front. This would give me about 3.5" of travel in front.

How did you come up with the amount of bumpstop you have?

Honestly, I cannot remember how or where I found the information as was 5 years ago. I know it is right on as when I did my exhaust this spring I put a plate on my garage floor and used the winch to suck it down to check exhaust clearances. At same time I did check how spring was compressing, bump stop, and shock. Everything was right on, no coil bind shock not bottomed out, and it was sitting on stops.

Measure the actual springs.

My Currie 4" springs have at least 30k miles on them. Last I checked this summer, they still show a 4" lift.


If those are Currie bumps, they mash into each other a good amount. More than the gap you are measuring. The shocks become the actual limit to travel. Not the bumps, which are really just nice jounces to slow down the impact.

It is the CE-9122F kit I have installed. It just seems off to me that there is 2" up front, and almost 4.5" in rear. I put a bubble on mine, and here is where its at -

Measure the springs at normal ride height

I measured 14 3/8".
