Now that I think of it, it did have some surface rust on one side like it was sitting on the ground for a while. So maybe its just out of balance

Need some input, ideas, or options.
My front shocks bottom out when the suspension compresses in the front. But at where the shocks fully compress is where I need some kind of bump stop, but it is only about 4" of up travel. The front coil springs have settled some and is about 1/2" lower in the front since the SAS.
So I have been looking for options on how to limit the compression, stiffen the springs rate, have shorter shocks, relocate the bottom shock tabs, extend the shock towers, get different shocks with adjustable, make different coil buckets or modify what I have........
I really don't want to lift it anymore than what it is, but if needed I wont have a problem with it.

I cant have the suspension compress more than what it is for the diff will hit the cross-member.

Put bump stops inside the coil springs like the jeep guys do.

I'd personally just trim the crossmember.

It's already trimmed. The upper link mount on top of the diff would hit the flat part of the crossmember.

Looking at just getting these. They will be long enough to fit in the upper retainer of the coil buckets.

Got the driveshaft back from the driveline shop. All it needed was balancing. So $35 is all it cost me. I'll get it put back on tomorrow and see if the vibrations are gone.

My next project I'm going to start today or tomorrow, a snorkel. Trying to decide it I want it to run up by the windshield to the roof or just have it barely stick out if the cowl with one of these....

How will you filter it? Gonna keep the stock box just change the intake of air? I wouldn't trust that "no filter needed" think you linked..
