Absolutely correct on all counts.

Spring on the left is the new to me Curry 4". One on the right is allegedly a ProComp spring installed by the PO.

I suspect the rear springs caused my rear shocks to blow...Black Maxes...but again, just a theory.

Springs were on my list of things to do but down on the list until the right deal came around.

Almost done installing.

The oh boy was from a new springs being 2 in taller and I barely pried out the old ones. I cheated a little and used a spring compressor.

I'm in desperate need of new control arms. The OEM arms bind up before I hit the bump stops. Which puts me in danger of ripping off the brackets. That's next on the list. Control arms...not ripping off the brackets...

Don't feel bad. I used spring compressors on my front currie 4" springs.

Last couple days I made a couple rod holders, and on the "new" tub I took 3 hours to extract(drill through) a broken bolt and patched a three of the 15 or so holes with sheet metal plugs glued in with automotive panel adhesive( holes from rocker guards and a roof rack)
