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.

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.
