I modified my rears up front several times and the best setup I found was 6 leafs plus the little short overload spring from the bottom of an '81 rear pack and added spring clamps to keep the leafs from fanning out. This worked better but it was still axlewrapping and walking out from under the truck. Most of the time they worked great but there was a lot of times that I've had to pull a cable (mostly on steep hills) when I should have been able to drive up it and I believe it was because the front end just wasn't hooking up like it should. I live in the southeast and most of the trails we wheel are muddy limestones and steep ledges that offer almost no traction ,so anything you can do to get more power to the ground helps a lot. Maybe its not an issue out west on dry rocks. There are some guys that wheel with me that have bought 5" all-poos and 5" marlins and they are suffering from the same issues. But, there's a couple other guys running 3" all-poos and they seem to work great. They are not wrapping and walking out from under the truck like the 5". I dunno, I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed the same thing as us.

dam good points i have rears up front with the front pack mixed in.
kinda flat but on 33" locked front and rear it hooks up.
good post bro.
