« on: Apr 20, 2007, 07:16:46 AM »
If I were to set my truck up with chevy leafs out back and rears in the front, would lthis set-up still work if I used 3-inch rear leaves, and a 3 inch rear chevy leaf with a zero rate, and equal a full 7 inches of lift?  anyone else done this?>

It is going to depend on you vehicle weight loaded for the trail, and your hanger position, and your shackle length/position.

Cause I am from kentucky, and my truck will see mostly mud...  That and Fat girls can't jump...

As far as "it all depends on"  I am just asking if this would work in theory..

Are you running crossover steering?

If you are, you might see a problem with the RUF pack contacting your drag link when drooping.
