Help: Suspension gurus look inside please

Probably something out of a half ton would work good

Just run it without springs!!! I hope to try this out this coming year just to see what it does. But should work without issue if the shocks are up to snuff.

But just get something soft. Look to see what the spring rate is on those springs and cut it in half.

I will see if I can calculate the spring rate on the ones I have now.

Thanks!!!

hes got some toe issues IMOP. And that combined with a tacky track can make for a jumpy ride.

How much nitrogen pressure is he running in the shocks? Compression seems light in the shocks too but all this cant be adjsuted till the toe is fixed.

I thought a slight toe-in was needed to help with that. I would assume there is too much as well (such as would occur with a bent tie-rod).

What is the "recipe". Toe-in, nuetral toe, Toe-out, slight, major, etc.?

I am not so sure that the tie rod bent due to the hopping. As far as toe in for a puller I dont know. When I aligned the truck after the axle swap, it was a daily driver, and I left it slightly toed in, but thinkin about it now, I am guessing zero toe, or maybe even slightly toe out would be better but I am not for sure. Some pullers with more experience could answer that question better than I can.
