Rears in front

[Jeff T.]

I noticed that a lot of you run rears in front. As I am short of time I will just ask instead of researching...

Do you have to modify the pack to put it up there? Add leaves?
What do you add?

Unfortunately when it comes to suspension and custom packs there isnt a do this and it will work answer.

The problem is it depends on what you have in the rear, how broke in are the springs, do you have lift blocks, do you have a winch and/or heavy winch bumper? All these things will change how the truck will sit when you are done. Some like the suspension soft so they are using minimal springs some like it a little stiffer so they add more or thicker.

When it comes to suspension about the only thing you can do is get some extra packs of various fronts rears or whatever take a weekend and start playing around with them by mixing and matching.

In addition rears up front move the front axle forward and most use a drop front mount at the same time. When doing all this you may need to change to crossover and if you have the money might as well go high steer at the same time. If you dont have time to search for the answer do you have time to do all that work. It takes a while and Im sure most people (at least I did) my front suspension 3-4 times.
