Even with the stock PP springs?

If your using production springs, it is not required to trim the bump stops.

ok I called no answer so.. Every time I go over a bump the back end makes a thud sound... Also anyone else install these? Does that. Spacer go over top of the rear shock bracket or underneath it? Also with the bumpstops do u push them all the way down the shaft or keep it near the top? I am on the stock springs right now and trying to fig out the prob and I didn't trim the bumpstops so idk

Can look up the Koni install video at CJ Pony Parts. It's the same installation more or less - can help.

By that video I did it right so there is one of 2 possibilties... Initial I tried putting in the lowering springs but couldn't get them out by myself... So either I didn't bolt everything back up right or the shock is bad... Since it sounds like it's on the driver side

 

[mustangflanagan]

Well I found the problem the bottom 2 rear drivers side shock bolts backed out... Autozone and pep boys do not have them smh

Go to your Ford dealer or contact Levittown Ford on this forum and they can sell you the appropriate bolts. For these bolts, you absolutely need corrosion resistant material - not just some random bolts from the hardware store.

Thanks for the heads up I'll order them.. For the time being after 3 different hardware stores I got them so they should hold me over till they come in...... On a side note car rides great. Even with the ultra light line are up front and stockers in the back... I can't get the dann springs out by myself trying to press down on the suspension and yanking on the spring didn't work even with having everything unbolted like all the different instructions state.

The rear Steeda Ultralite springs are some of the easiest to install that I've done.

You need to pry bar the LCA down as far as it will go with the IRS unbolted on one side at a time. Try and twist the spring so the highest coil is facing you and while pushing down with the pry bar with one hand (you should be pushing the LCA as far down as it will go and also flexing down the IRS from the body of the car, pull the top of the OEM spring out from its upper perch. Will take a few tries and manipulations.

Watch the numerous spring install videos online. They all apply.

Currently waiting on getting my car back from having the shocks and struts installed. Can't wait to get it back and see how she rides!

Update: Rode back from Steeda in Pompano and the shocks & struts are absolutely magnificent! If anyone is lowered and still on stock/PP shocks & struts, do yourself a favor and pick up a pair of steeda shock & struts. Completely transformed the smoothness of the ride.

My father has a M4 and i can say that the GTPP with steeda linear ultralites and non-adjustable shocks & struts is pretty damn close to the M4 suspension in regards to performance and drivability.

:cheers: to Steeda

They are great.... But I think I have to cut the bumpstops even on stock springs on medium chewed up rodes the thing sounds like it bottoms out... The fronts on steeda springs with uncut bumpstops no problems yet.

I picked these up on the black Friday sale and will be pairing them up with steeda ulra lite linears. Glad to hear more and more positive reviews. They have to be better than the stock pp shocks and struts I have.
