That would be amazing, thanks! I just adjusted my front torsion bolts by 360 degrees, so the front’s now at 21.5, and the rear is at 23. I’ll see how that rides and keep a lookout for your next post.

I’m just wondering if rather than putting another $400 into those mods, if I just get the Slee springs mentioned above and drop the rear an inch, which would still put me at an inch higher in the rear vs the front.

That’s excellent! Probably a dumb question, but I’m wondering if there’s any issue mixing and matching Slee springs with OME shocks — which are what I currently have.

Well, I got the 2863 springs installed today, along with some airbags the seller had on hand — and I am surprised. My rear hub to fender height shot up 2.5 inches, even with my 400+ continuous rear load in the back, a new winch up front, etc. Rear is sitting at 23” hub to fender. Front would...

Thanks! Sounds like the way to go. Big plus is a guy near me has a pair of 863s for $50!

You’re right — I just talked to a guy in my area who could look all this up. Apparently, whoever put on the 866s was thinking they would achieve a lift, which they would have slightly on a cruiser from 1998-2000, but for 2002, it actually DROPS the rear end by 10mm. So I think I’m going to try...

Maybe so. Turns out my rear springs are 866s, which I believe are supposed to handle 250-400lbs constant load with a 2 inch lift. The fact that they’re sagging to stock height in the rear at just above that at my current rear weight (about 490) is odd. I wonder if they’re tired out.

Hi team — I have a built rig (Dissent bumpers, tire swing-out, heavier tires, sliders, drawer and fridge, etc.) and purchased the truck with a 2 inch OME lift and light/medium springs. That’s working fine up front, but not so much in the back, where I’m 2” lower than I should be without camping...

My baby — a Cape Falcon F1!

I’d try adding RTV to that seam in the plastic that surrounds the glass before replacing anything. It’s really not messy/visible, and it might solve the issue. Did for me!

Just a note to complete this: using a little black RTV on the seam of the plastic trim around the sunroof glass absolutely worked! I didn’t even get the sunroof perfectly realigned when screwing it back on, meaning some sunlight was visible passing through the outermost rubber seal down to the...

This is excellent, thanks! I temporarily taped, like you, but will get this done right shortly.

Thank you — yeah, I’ve read that a few people have used adhesives like RTV around the plastic glass frame. I’m going to try that using tape on either side of the seam to make a clean line.

Thanks for the response. In searching this up on Mud, I see some alluding to their leak point being the plastic and sunroof glass connection point, where water on top of the glass slides under the failing bond there, in which case replacing the gasket alone wouldn’t address the leak. Was your...

Hi team — So, my cruiser has started leaking at the sunroof on the passenger side, with water drops collecting on the right rear of the headliner rim, right below the sunroof rim (see pic, no water in the shot, but this is where it collects/drips). I snaked the front drains, tested with water...
