Changed my rear springs/shocks and have ?'s

[Crashnrondo]

I didn't want any lift but wanted to fix my sag so I bought a new set of Moog springs for my 2001 along with some KYB shocks and Moog rear sway bar end links. Everything went fine including cutting out the old shocks and sway links out but my truck is almost identical in height as it was before. I took measurements before and after and actually I gained about 3/8" but what concerns me and why I did the change in the first place was the bump stop cone is only 1.5" from hitting the axle. I did notice the new springs were slightly shorter(1/2") than the stockers I removed, should I have gone with the 99 talls from Moog? I just thought with 200K on the originals I would have seen a bump up in ride height.

On another note, the Moog sway bar end links are crap and will be going back as soon as I get another set from Autozone or something. They didn't come with the correct nut for the frame mount and the rubber boot that holds the grease in and dust out is a joke. The boot is so loose any flex from 90 degrees opens it up and exposes the grease.

My bump stop is still close. I actually have the same set-up, and I think it is normal, even though I had never really looked at it until after my suspension was changed, so I'll never know. The Moog springs are great at keeping the rear end height even when the truck is fully loaded.

Thanks for the reply, it does ride a lot nicer than before but I guess I just expected it to bring it up a little more.
