RE: My New Suspension Set-Up

Here is a pic of mine. And I have the same thing. It looks higher in the fron but I have measured it MANY times and it not.

yeah they look pretty similar and when i measured also, there wasn't any difference. BTW, what is it when you change out the fronts that throws out the allignment, like what part of the process.

RE: My New Suspension Set-Up

When I changed mine I had to cut the bump stops down. I was in the instructions that came with the HPs. It was to accommodate the lowering that occurs with the new setup.

RE: My New Suspension Set-Up

bump stops keep the springs/struts from over-compression. some suspensions require cutting the bump stop a bit to make up for the change in size of the springs/shocks so they dont hit the bump stop too soon.
