Rofl!!

Well t turns out your right there was something wrong with my setup in the front.

Finally figured it out. I wasn't preloading the spring enough.

I got:
1/4 top plate
Factory mount
ISO
Ironman
ISO
.5" trim pack (custom made... The daystar died)
Rustys strut
No clevis
=22.5

So it turns out that I had all kinds of spring travel with m old setup, I would go to connect he upper a arm and when jacking the lca up all it would do was compress the spring, but not to the point where it had sufficent load to hold the vehicle "at lift height" so instead of the daystar top plate making lift... It was really making lower.... Which is even more screwed cause I tried the factory mount before. The only thing missing was the .5 trim pack. Tada!!!!!

Thanks for sticking with me man.
P.s you still owe me a microwave... Mines smells like burnt ham.

:lol: :lol: Glad you got it !!! A couple of others have tried the Daystar top thinking it would give them lift but in the end it costs you lift
But in the end you have it now where it should be , with the only thing that you lost was a burnt ham microwave !!! :ROTFL:

So, is that trim spacer sort of acting like a clevis lift in that it gives you a 2:1 lift ratio? Sort of sounds that way.

As explained many times no the trim packer does not act as a clevis spacer
What it does is boost the spring rate
