I have a 4" OME spring/shock combo with all adjstable trackbars and ROKMEN short arm CA's. It's a stellar lift, but it seems that the springs have sagged some and they are 'arced' (like they don't sit straight because the perches aren't parllel and thus the springs bend unnaturally) a little bit and when sitting on level ground the rear section of the spring is making contact so when I turn and articulate just a little (like the curb in my driveway) it makes contact and the noise drives me batty!
When I lift the body with a jack to fully unload the spring then it wants to hit up front. I have extended bumpstops as well, and it's the cup that's hitting.
My geometry seems just right otherwise, I have no DW and it tracks straight as an arrow.
Besides new springs, long arms, or anything drastic is there anything I can do to help this? It seems the only other short term option would be to possibly remove the bumpstop extensions, but that presents it's own problems off road (i.e. overcompression).
No pics right now, but I can take some if I need to illustrate better what I'm talking about.
I'm all ears for ideas.
