Default Yes or No?

So I got tired of killing my tires over every bump etc so took out my prokit rear springs and put the stocks back in with the heater hose mod. I'm not sure if I like the outcome or not, but I havent killed my true duals or killed my tires yet. What do you think?

before


after




def raked instead of almost lower in the back like it was before

I think it looks good because of your rear wheel/tire combo.

I'm on the fence. I'd probably put it somewhere between the two. Maybe cut a half coil of the stock springs.

looks like mine, more lower in the front than back. Makes it real nice when it comes to clearing small things, Im sure it made a world of a difference. It's funny, once when I was leaving my ranch there was this coke can laying on its side and I drove right over it, I hear my exhaust hit it, look in my rearview mirror and the coke can is flying in the air Wow that was really random...

Your "better pics of after" look at bit more "true" than the after pics in the earlier post. The after pics in the original post appear significantly raked probably because either the vehicle was either parked on a decline or maybe the camera was angled.

Just a guess from me, but anyhow I think this is another example on how rear springs of most pro-kits aren't really that ideal. Good job and thanks for sharing the pics.

rake looks good. i swapped the eibach rears out for stockers w/o the isolators almost a year ago and havent looked back. no more bottoming out on small bumps, and i can finally get over speed bumps. the rake looks pretty good too, imo.
