The coil spring supports the weight, not the strut

 

thanks for all you guys info. I am going to try it w/ the truck on the ground and take the spare off like someone said to give me more room and see how that goes.

 

i was only talking about how the truck acts while not shocks are attached.. nothing about weight bearing..... kinda funny that it went there though..

 

Sometimes it's a mono-leaf that supports the strut Like on the 1st generation W-body GMs [8D]

 

Thanks Rom

 

I always thought this was how you jack up a truck

oh my goodness.... if i didn't know better i'd say you've done that silver....

after having my stock jack slip out on me.. i would really have a problem with doing what that guy did

either the boards are going to break or the tires are going to slip and roll the truck on the roof. if nothing happened he got VERY lucky.

 

i was just saying its pretty sweet how bouncy it is w/out shocks, wasnt being stupid i know wtf they are for.. [:@][:@][sm=owned.gif]

 

What a dumbass. Where was that taken? Guacamole?

He's probably welding up a hole in his gas tank.
