    Hey folks. So I picked up some moog struts for the front end, I noticed the bushings would have to be replaced by the end of this years so I picked up the loaded ones for a decent price. I knew it would sit high for a while but good grief man, looks like I'm bout sit down. I knew it would take a while for it to settle down and wear in but a month and its still high? Its dropped bout 1.5 inches. The springs were far from broken and could have been used again. I knew that when I put them in the garage when I washed and took that pick a month ago, even measured them Just to make sure for i am still wondering wth. Any ideas? And thanks for your time!

    4x4? That looks like you're on bags and popped the front up

    If all 4 were done, it's 4x4.

    shìt, what would you do? Replace the rears and hope it levels out?
    Cause those rims look big and not sure how lowering springs work with bigger rims

    If it still has sagging rears, the full weight has never been on the fronts yet. I bet if you jacked up the rear really high and left it on jackstands under the rockers like that for a weekend... with the rears hanging and the fronts smushed.... and bounce the front end every time you think about it over that weekend.... you might start to level it out.

    Its popping a wheely! It's bad enough that the lights had to be adjusted down a mile. Kept getting flashed, I'm close to changing the springs out. Also the first week or two I chewed on 2 tires and cracked a rim. It had been FAR below freezing for a couple weeks so they may have gotten a bit brittle combined with a stiff new strut and craters for potholes from the plows

    This happened to my 08 when I put 4 new KYBs on. Front never dropped. My only potential fault was I put in 04 quick struts because they didn't make them for the 08.

    Crazy guy those are almost 5 months old. And stocker is your 08 still sitting back? I am going to change out the front and MAYBE sell them for cheap idk. Irritating s#!t for sure. Those damn 20s used to look perfect i put the 18s on today n they are just too damn drastic. I'm going to have more parts collecting dust reminding me I'm far from perfect. Have a spare 3800 and trans waiting 2 sets of heads headers yada yada its ridiculous.

    They make cargo springs for the rear to bring it up.
    Or use a a correct set of lowering springs between the GTP and intrigue. That should
    level it out depending on what way you want to go

    reason I mention both is in case 20s rub with a lowering spring.

    Put the 06+ plus springs in the rear. They are the same as Intrigue springs and should help.

    My issue is I have some ar904 rims with way nice rubber I've been dying to put on but with the car sitting like that it looks like I have hydros all cholo style with little wheels. Not my style lol they look to small bro and I just dropped about a grand for wheels n rubber. The mrs keeps *****ing "why are the new rims in your too doo pile??" fu#!ing irritates me.

    Do you want the front as low as the rear or the rear as high as front ?
