The pic I posted was from Glider's post. It isn't mine. My rears look perfectly straight all the way up (original springs). And my fenders are almost 43" from the ground with 42 psi in Goodyear MT and weighing about 8,000#. And it rides smooth with the progressive rears in the 12k chassis.

Is it just me, or is that bowed way out?

On the fronts, I dropped a crowbar down thru the spring where the shock would be. just in case it wanted to come flying out. I don't recall what I did for the rears while the body was on.

You can chain the jack to the frame to stop from lifting the chassis. The front is easier with the airlift hoops.

Has anyone mentioned that the old springs currently in these can be saggy? So, just putting the same spring (new) in could raise the truck a bit?

a 2" suspension lift does not put 2" spacers on the springs. The wheel is further away from the pivot point than the spring is. So a slight difference in spring height will give a higher lift than the spring height difference.
