no. Sprints sit higher in the rear. A few guys here, like myself, cut a dead coil in the rear to make them sit even

Hmm...I didn't know they made shocks too. I forget what end I cut from. I think it was the top. If you had about 150-200lbs. Then maybe it will sit even

The rides not bad. Some say they are a little harsh. Best thing to do is find someone w/ these springs and take a ride on them. Like at a local meet or something. I have my sprints w/ agx shocks adjusted pretty high. I like the stiffer ride

If I got camber bolts would that get rid of the problem?

Mine sits almost exactly one full coil width higher in the rear than in the front. The rear dropped slightly after about 2 weeks at first it was a bit over 1 full coil higher.

Mine used to sit higher in the rear....I fixed that by cutting 1.50 coils off the rear springs.


pic before cut....

With proper alignment, it should take care of this problem.
