Re: Nose heavy

Re: Nose heavy

I'm in the same situation. I wouldn't add weight to the back just to level it out. Gas prices suck bad enough already. I'm going to swap out a set of OEM Springs (Front) out of a 97 Grand and add another stock coil spring isolators to the front. Should level it up and be a little stiffer for the weight of the engine and winch.

Re: Nose heavy

If you have a little cash hanging around adco adjustable spring mounts (I think thats what they are called), will let you fine tune your ride heights.

If you have no cash, I have seen peopel double up the isolaters above the spring for an extra 1/2 inch, some people will measure the height difference and just buy front springs to match that difference.

Re: Nose heavy

Go to the dealership and get a pair of coil spring isolators, same rubber thingy's that are currently on top of your front springs. They're stackable and work great to level a ride out. Cheap too.
