if you changed shocks & springs, have a look aound there for anything you may have touched. pay close attention though cause the little things that count always hide...

Possibly you have an in tank fuel pump fault and when it was jacked up all the fuel syphoned out pick up now high pressure pump wont pick it up so even tho it seems like you have fuel it may not try taking off hose and make sure plenty comes out
