Chevies make good add-a-leaf's for using pretty much any other 2 1/2" spring. But on a runner they work good. DO NOT use double shackles if you want to keep the rig upright on the trail. Run a single shackle with a the shackle hanger reloacated back about 4" with a 5-7" long shackle and they'll be good.

Uh oh... ive got dual shackles with chevy's.... Sorry to hijack..

"Later, I learned that even though I engage 4WD my hubs are not automatically locking? Something about manual locking hubs I think. What's manual mean? I need to read a manual to lock them? lol  So I found these neat autolocking hubs and installed them. Sometimes they dont stay locked while I am backing up, but that's fine because I dont have a backup camera to see where Im going (like our RV) so I just simply dont ever back up"- BigMike
