They've been that way as long as I've had the truck. The truck sits pretty level, so I know the fronts aren't sagging. The truck just feels soft, and know the springs have had quite a variety of weight loads, terrains, rough Colorado roadways, etc. Do springs ever wear out?? Why would they set it up as negative camber? A lot of Ford trucks I've seen are setup as negative camber as well, but don't quite understand why? For loads in the rear?
I just put brand new RS5000 shocks on it, and that firmed up the suspension, as the old shocks were about 15 years old and rusted out!
Also I'm looking at purchasing a bed liner coating. Would you guys recommend spraying it or rolling it on? I do not have a garage, but do have the ability to remove the old paint and grime from the inside of the box. If I am able to get the box down to bare steel should I prime it first, or should I just apply the bedliner to the bare steel. My assumption would be to prime it, but I've not done anything like this before.
