Front of my truck is soooper sagged now

Postby Diesel » Sat Jul 07, 2012 6:16 am

So the front coils have no doubt taken a beating under my employ :) I like the ride though. I think I am just going to put in a pair of new isolators. Will jacking it up high and taking off the shock get the spring out?

I jack them up and set them on jack stands. Put your jack under the control arm and run a small section of chain threw the upper control and the spring. Back the lower balljoint nut out some and wack the crap out of that area with a big hammer. That is with the jack sitting under the lower control with a small gap.
