Default Quick question about springs.

I noticed that the rear is lowered more than the front on lowering springs. Why is it that way?

it's for weight shifting when accelerating and deccelerating. when you floor it, the nose won't pick up, and when you are going fast and slam on the breaks, the nose won't dive down. they are "performance" springs. they are meant to be as efficient as possible when it comes to performance. so having the assend down helps with the weight shift when accelerating and getting on the binders. hope that explains. and yes, that truck full of mexicans was amazing. those leaf springs definitely look like they are holding up. put em on the track!
