    Hmm that brush guard was put on a year ago. So I should just try and replace the coils and see?

    I don't know dude, unless you're replacing them with a lift spring, I wouldn't bother. Like PI said, those urethane leveling kits compress over time. Is that what you have? If so, then that may very well explain the problem. Those brush guards will weigh one down dude.

    You know I had it installed. But when I looked under there it looked like that really tough plastic material.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    ebay, but i just looked and didnt find any right now...

    good point!

    the really tough plastic is urethane. you should just sell your shocks you just put on, and get a set of QuickLift Rancho's. They are the rs9000 series, so its an upgrade from the 5000s you just put on, and it would eliminate having to install a leveling kit as this is adjusted w/ a level built into the assembly (they raised the coil boot to allow for the added height that you would normally get when adding a leveling kit ontop of a strut assembly, which is what you currently have). they also come preassembled, meaning you don't need to swap coils, you get new coils, and you can do the job in prolly 2hrs tops. 3 if you're drinking :waytogo:

    I'd do what Vano said Preston, I wouldn't bother with the springs. Those Rancho's sound like the way to go IMO.
