Dang that is bad!!! I've never seen on that bad either.

We took the lift shackles off my girlfriends Sj today, they were so long the shocks were fully bottomed out and the springs were actually being forced to bend the wrong way, as soon as the bolts came out the spring shot up :shock: whoever fitted them must've struggled to bend the spring down enough to get the bolts in :lol: drives 100x better now too!

I winced at the sight of that. Is that real or is the spring upside down?
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

That is an exceptionally sad spring.
