I got an '83. Ran with all the rear pack, plus 2 *archest* leafs from the front. Total of 6 leafs. Got about 3 inchs of lift, with the Sky bannananaaaa shackle.
Ride.. I got propoop shocks.. and rides fine on the street. Don't really notice the soft ride until i tap on the brakes. Wheeling.. Love the soft ride.. Kidneys thank me everytime i go out.
