Yup should be less floppy now. It's funny, when I set the spring and shackles up when it was still a stripped down '94 pickup we just made short runs to trails in the woods and had little rock crawl competitions and those loose soft springs and long shackles handled and flexed just fine, but now that it's a 4Runner/camping crap/family hauler it needs an entirely different setup. This project has been a real education.
