<p dir="ltr">What concerns me about what Joel says isn't the ride height, the cars did sit high... He says there is no suspension movement is how I read it " no bounce " in wondering if there is some bind </p>

<div>Since it has been so quiet, I thought
I would throw one out. My front suspension is sooo stiff and the height
is 2-3 inches in my mind higher than it should be. Rebuilt suspension,
welded up per CAT instructions, stock springs, Koni shocks - old and all new
rubber etc.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The front has no bounce at all.
First idea is to loosen upper and lower control arm bolts, drive just a
bit and then re-tighten. Can you put the front anti sway bar on upside
down - not sure is could be a problem or not. Bushing grease on all new
rubber?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thoughts\ideas would be
appreciated.</div>
