lowered with H&R coil springs

[kennygs22]

after reading a lot of posts of what type of spring to go with , decided to go with the H&R super sport springs.... 2.2 in front and 3 in rear. took before and after measurements. after installing , lowered the front 2 inches and rear 2 1/4 inches.... have the eco boost with AWD..... double checked and made sure rear springs were settled in there rubber spring perches.... does anyone out there have this issue..... just seems the rear should be a little lower.... taking it in tomorrow for alignment.......

The rears are marked L and R. Do you have them on the correct sides? I know my eibach springs took a day or two to settle into their ride height. Mine dropped right at 3" from factory.

On another note, are you experiencing the same pop/clunk/creak from the front end when turning at slow speeds that many of us eibach spring guys are?

That sits like mine does. I'd say your rear springs are good. It looks perfectly level.

yeah, double checked springs before install.... made sure they were in the right and left sides according to the lettering on the springs..... just took the truck for a short ride and took this pick after i got back.....looks like the rear came down about 1/2 inch....

Yup, it looks good!

Do ya have any noises that you shouldn't?

Always always always go for a hard run the long way around your favorite roads after a suspension modification. 1. for settling, 2. for retorquing EVERYTHING, and 3. to induce possible failure while you still remember which tools you just used.

part# 51620-77.... got them through Panda Motor Works.... $399 with free shiping....took my time and spent the weekend.....theres a couple install videos on youtube .... they both had lifts doing the work....i used floor jack and jack stands... kind of sucked but it got the job done. if you go my route , just remember to put those rubber pads on the jack and jack stands. otherwise you'll damage the pinch welds underneath the truck because its unibody and does not have frame rails for support..

I did my H&R springs in 3 1/2 hours , first time I ever did my own . Pretty easy. I was nervous taking a brand new truck apart. But I would do again if I had to.

From the picture, it looks like the back wheel is closer to the front wheel arch??
