Re: rear overload leaf

Yeah you can take it out.  Especially if you're planning on a light flatbed.  But you will definitely get more axle wrap.  Two options to cure that:  1. Traction bar  2. anti-wrap (half) leaf.
Sounds like i should keep the overloads in. The ride might be stiffer, but that's better than a ton of axle wrap. Here's a question: If i decide to run a traction bar, will it make a difference if i run the springs with or without the overload leaf?
