I installed my 2" Tereflex BB1X BB about 2 weeks ago now and I havent had time to install my shocks yet (Im still not sure if there long enough, until I pull the old ones to compare).
Anyway, when we were putting the shackles in the rear, we had to PULL DOWN on the rear of the leaf spring to get them in the shackle. This was weird, the body was on jack stands, both tires off, I thought the axle should have dropped! But, it didnt!
I was wondering if the sway bar could have been keeping the axle up? I havent removed it yet, but am toying with the idea (keeping the front for sure, this is my DD, Ill fab some homebrew quick discos later).
Or is it more possible that the shocks were fully extended and thus not allow the axle to drop any further?
I couldnt for the life of me see how the sway bar could be the culprit, but I gotta ask because I know theres more experienced people on this topic than I.
Thanks for any help, insight or suggestions..
