how do you make 63's stiffer?
« on: Oct 27, 2010, 12:50:08 PM »
i have a set of 3 leaf pack 63's with the over load taken out in my 85 reg cab with a 3 in. block under them.  has worked great for years.  only complaint i have is when i have all my gear loaded in the bed and out on the trail, it's constantly bouncing off the bump stops.  without the gear, no problem, but when there is about 150 lbs or so of gear back there, its horrible.  anyone know of a good leaf to add to the pack to make it hold more weight?

When i put 63s in my buddys 3rd gen, i added the second leaf from top out of a f150 pack, seams to work very well. didnt mess with his flex but helped with the load. Or put an over load back in it and maybe trim it down some?

would you get just a stock add, or some kind of a lift spring add?

Stiffen the compression dampening on your shocks. A lot.
