X2 on Richard's suggestion.
That being said, the heaviest of MII (v8, auto, air, hatchback, T-Tops) tipped the scales at approx. 3200#, and that's with the engine weight pretty much centered over the front axle/spindle line. Not sure where the engine in yours sits relative to the axle center line, but if it's back from the original configuration of the MII then there's even less weight bias to the front springs (probably only slight). You didn't exactly describe what the "problem" is other than to say you're back where you started from (or did I miss something?) Are your springs bottoming out (which might also bring the shocks into question), just sit too low for your liking, or are you getting noticable spring bind (which would go to Jerrys comments)? If it's a fatman stub setup then you might want to check with them to get the install specs and make sure the unit was put in correctly.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
