It's working. You can't really tell so much with a floor jack. The arm pivots both directions. You need to ramp it. Also, you'll gain much more droop than compression. I'm sure your springs are too stiff. The springs and bushings will break in once you start wheelin it.
When you put the shock on, don't make the mount too tight on the shock bushing, and make sure the arm will move an equal amount in both directions.
thank's for the info im gonna weld the shock mount on when i get my rig to my place hopefully in the next 6 month's sometime. were gonna try to get into base housing till i transfer again. i should have my new 5.5 duff spring's and shacle flip bracket's in october then we'll see how she flex's.
Other than color, nothing.......they are all pretty much the same. BC Bronco's springs are good too. Not like any of them were made with a solid axle BII in mind.
What makes the duff springs better is they cost less $$
i thought duff made 5.5" coil's? if not i 'll pick up a set of the wildhorse coil's. they all are great coil's im going 5.5 becuz i want to run 38's and dont want to be needing any extra lift. plus im compensaing the weight difference of the cleveland and the wench i wont to run.i just hope the shackle flip will make enough lift for the rear that i wont have to use a block.
