Okay, for better or worse - this is what happened.

Here are the new and old coil side-by-side....



The result was a little more drop than I anticipated. When I finished it was resting on the bump stops. I trimmed them an inch and it was no longer resting on them. I like the look, but for all practical purposes it is a little too low.



I have two options now - First I'm gonna try a spring rubber to raise it 1 to 1-1/2" and I'll see if the ride is decent. If that doesn't work I'll cut the stock springs and reinstall them.



Could be that my truck squatted more than a single-cab D350 would have. I'm sure the bigger frame and extra weight of the cab adds quite a few pounds.

I guess life is a learning experience - sometimes we learn what NOT to do! LOL! Just thought I'd let everyone know how it turned out.
