Doesn't look like a "frog" squating with all the weight, still looks/drives good down the road.
Luck and enjoy that runner.  |
Wow, what did I do to my original talls? They sagged to the stops with a full load at only 170K. Thing looked like it was ready for take-off. 906s solved the problem.
How do you have original '99 talls on a 2001? Did you swap them in when you bought it? If you are talking about original 2001 springs, that is a whole different (and much shorter) animal. The '99 talls sag like a mfer with weight, way more than the shorter ones. Even new, they sagged with weight. I do NOT recommend. Go 906.
