thats all id recommend for DD if the TS doesnt want adjustables if he did then he could go tein ss/ssp.

and to the TS

this is with tein stechs its in between the 1.5-2 range and you can still see that theres that "gap" u were referring to

I'm rolling Good USA's. They're the best springs I've ever riden on, I'm had SS', Eibachs, and Skunks. If you want to know more about them let me know.

or did you put the reverse the springs?? which i highly doubt u did. the rear shocks might be blown which causes the sag in the rear. check to see if theyre blown.
