No bed, take leafs out of the rear?

[MiniSimp]

So I took off my bed and hard mounted a tool box against the cab.
From what I've seen, with the rear so light, the stock spring pack will be too stiff.
Should I take a leaf or 2 out to bring it back to stock rate?
Or am I just

Add more weight.  Why did you take your bed off anyway?

[MiniSimp]

I took it off because I'll be building a custom flat bed to work with my tool box. However, that wont happen for about another 6 months.

You'll be okay if you flatbed it..........Are they stock springs?.If so,I think you'd be okay regardless,if they're lift springs,I guess it would depend on how old they are,and how they've settled......Just my .

Stock springs, 20 years old, flat as hell.

[Hyena]

They will be fine.

 ya, i took my bed off and put on new 4in springs, i ended up puting my bed back on, but if u are going to flatbed it, ull have enough weight

[UNBREAKABLE]

I agree you'll be alright

[MiniSimp]

So, here is my dilema....

[lacrack]

men that look stiff!
how high is the front wheel in the pic!
and what kind of shock do you run(length)?

[MiniSimp]

Front wheel is about 2' up, shocks are stock.

[lacrack]

that might be your problem!

[MiniSimp]

The shocks are not maxed out...

[brainlessfool]

just take all the leafs out. that will fix the flex thing.!

I drove with rocky when he had taken his bed off, they were not stock springs but when he was going down the freeway...the rear tires were almost bounceing off the ground.  Way to light, nothing holding the tires to the ground.  Of course rocky was hammering it on the bumpest part of the freeway.
