I'm going to pull a one leaf from the front and the rear, I think I can get way more flex.

You might want to take it a couple good rides first and see if the break in some.

I'm sure I should pull a leaf my pass tire was almost coming of the grown
and my front pass wasn't even tucked yet

pullin leafs boys!

i never pulled a leaf out of mine while i broke them in, it takes about a good year for them to start feelin nice, cause if you pull a leaf out it will feel nice for a little bit but then they will over arch or start to lose spring weight an snap one. just like scottys did on his 4 runner, look at how nice my all pro springs were, i got almost 40 inches of flex on leafs... leave em in until there broken in. or else your truck will just be a  :smack:

I just want more flex in the front , but I'll take your word on it,
time to make a flex ramp!!

SCyotacrawler420

jump it everyday also, i hit kragon jump everyday day in my truck an that helped alot. mine flexed good an never over arched an i jumped it alot an went wheelin almost everyday too... so get to wheelin

Well said at least my springs don't sag , Ive seen some sad stuff.
So i got my marlin seals ,stickers ,hoddie yesterday .
Quik shipping I might add 2 days  grownd shipping!!

As soon as I can I'll get some gear oil and start the complete tear down
and I'm going to order a diff armor form marlin, I'll hopefully get it just around the time I finish.  No hurry this axil is in need of a bad cleening .
