Pimp stance! :lol:


More than likely a mushy coil spring,all two wheel dodges do it that I've seen

It's actually a combination of the fuel tank and the driver. Dodge made a shim to go under the coil spring to help level the truck.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

I bought a 83 W150 a few years back to do a 4bt conversion, bought it from the family of the original owner. Apparently he was a BIG man, had one heck of a lean to the drivers side. Seat covering was nice, but the foam was smashed, the springs were sagged on the drivers side about 1/2", even the cab mount bushings were destroyed...I sold it to fund other things :|

I've got a '92 150 that sagged on the driver's side real bad, previous owner was about 125lbs. and babied it bad. Had about 90K when I got it, real nice truck, I punished it into submission in about another 15K, it's in my private salvage facility now. On a related note, I'm going to change out the front springs on the '90 D350, the driver's side coil is sqwonked pretty bad, it rides about one and one-half inch lower than the passenger side. I've got new brake pads, springs, rubber bisquits and wheel seals. Is there anything else I should have on hand for this operation?
