I know I said that. But, now that I see these other posts, if the rear
springs are sagging that much, 2-3" might get it back to stock!
I would now add a different take. Does anyone know how to make sure the
springs don't get re-arched too much? Or replacement springs aren't too
high?
I'd hate for Lance to follow one of these suggestions and end up looking
like a 4x4 in the rear.
