Re: 86 Runner Build - Down to Rails

Now for a RUF question to those who may have tried this...  My first pack consists of the following:
1. '86 4Runner Rear main
2. '86 Runner 2nd leaf
3. '84 xcab 2nd leaf cut down
4. '84 xcab 3rd leaf with keepers cut off
5. '86 Runner 3rd leaf
6. on Left only... Cut down overload

Take a look at how they stack up.  Not too sure about the stacking on 2 & 3.  Thinking this may have beefed the pack up too much for the little stuff, making it rigid?  I was able to keep all the sliders in on every leaf and got decent spacing on all the leafs but 2&3, making 1,2&3 almost like one big leaf....  What are your thoughts?

My plan is to clean 'em all up, paint them and get the assembly done to try it out.  I figure I can always do some cutting, but I'd lose the little leaf pad sliders...  Could slip an add a leaf in the pack somewhere and ditch the free 2nd leaf, but defeats the free available parts theory.
93 Runner, 86 Runner build, 85 Bobbed, 85 Xcab for parts
