WT, do you think if i take my front spring pack a part and the rear pack apart, do you think that if i swap all of the leafs from the rear pack not including the main leaf and put it in the front with the stock front leaf,would i get as much?

If you put all those leaves in the front pack it would lift it, but it would ride like a tank and have 0 uptravel.  Plus the steering arm would hit on the spring pack because it would be too thick.

You know what, ranger springs would level that out nicely.   :thumbs:












What can I say I like my suspensions!

Check out my thread "Ive been busy"  It has all the measurements that you'd need.  You WILL have to add to the pack but I am in love with these springs.  In my 84 I have added enough springs that should meke it too stiff but it is still too soft.  Damned good starting point is rangers or broncoII's.

I didn't add anything to my spring pack to compensate for the different perch heights.  Can't really tell by looking at it.  The front-rear springs are flexy as hell.  I have three inch blocks in the rear welded to the perches.  Makes the rear real flexy too.  I don't think anything flexes like stock springs.

So you just have stock springs in the back with a 3" lift block welded to the perch?

And some homemade shackles that give a little more lift.  That's it and the 35s never touch.
