got some old springs and a press?

Just press an extra leaf up to get the same arch in it and add it to your OME pack to make em stiffer

You know ive been saying for a long long time that rear springs are a LOT softer than fronts

And that's why we use OME HD rears, which have a full length secondary spring - that means there's two leaves right where yours are bending.

Stock fronts are 220lb/", Stock rears are 150lb/"

Thing is Zooky 08, I think the problem is the passenger's side is too high, not that the driver's is too low.

Steve

not sure what you mean about being to high. car was dead straight when i put the prings in, no lean at all.
there is 20mm difference in bumper stop heights
should you be able to push the car down on the front and make the shackle invert, because thats what i can do on the drivers side only .

I'm saying I think the driver's side is at a good height, the passenger's side is too high.

If you're inverting shackles on compression, you need bumpstop spacing, longer shackles, longer springs, a longer chassis extension, or some combination of all four.

I wouldn't do custom springs for such a small issue. Springs have a short life IMHO so it's pointless spending big on them.

Steve.

passenger side can touch the bumperstop without inverting, but since the drivers spring is bent and sagged it makes the spring longer and a shitty shackle angle, there for the drivers side is the only shackle i can get to invert.

ill do some research, might do custom springs or try the ome hd springs out.

Not sure what I'm gonna do yet. It's not the sagging of the spring, it's bent is what make my shackle invert. Car really pissing me off lately. my reco engine just went bang yesterday, so holding this project of for a while and stop spending money on it. Going out to buy another car

If it's bent, the overall length of the spring will actually become shorter and not collapse the shackle. When a spring is also torsionally twisted it also becomes shorter ie if you tested your spacing setup with the diff flexed it may not have inverted but this is the best case scenario in respect to spring length/ spring spacing and the shackle collapsing.

Oh i thought when a spring bends or sagges it becomes longer.
For it not to invert I'd have to put in at least 2-3" bumper stops on drivers side

Someone made their chassis extension too short.

I see longer shackles in your future

Steve.

Try 10mm longer shackles and dig up that thread highwaystar started about shackle inversion.

I thought we concluded it wasn't called inversion when they collapse upwards

Anyway. My lame RUF on my Sierra did something funny to me the other day. I bent the shackle sideways on the drivers side. So now the shackle is effectively shorter, and the blasted thing can now "unload" when the front compresses very hard .
