    Loud knock from underneath

    Determine suspension lift

    at the moment i am just trying to determine what lift is already on the 90, the spring measurement on the vehicle in 13 inches - i can only find uncompress measurements for the standards springs (ie not on the vehicle). I might just jack her up till fully dislocated and see how the lengths...
