    i got to work. removed the stock middle leaf, and bolted everything back up.
    its now running the stock main leaf and 2 flipped leaf springs. along with a 3" block. so its 5 or 6" in the back. and lowered the front a bit too.

    Looks good. How much did it cost for the grille headlights an bumper? Everyone I found on CL tht are parting out they want like 350-400 just for tht stuff I think it's a bit ridiculous but that's just me

    Looks good! You just need to drop the front a little more. You're tucking tire in back but not front. IMO.

    i pieced it together slowly. took some time but it comes to about 300-325 for the front end, and i still need the fenders and corners.

    normal leaf springs are in a happy face with the arc down, i flipped the lower 2 lower ones, so the arc is up and its a sad face.

    its now tucking just a bit not a lot tho it settled down. i like it:love::drool:

    before i took out the middle leaf i had them flipped. and it rode softer than if they were in the normal position. with the middle leaf removed i think its too soft, so i will flip them back to stock and see what happens

    I have 3" blocks and left my leafs alone and rides a little rough. But I don't want to take out the overload leaf cause of my bedbox.

    I still dont get it:confused:

    Did u just flip the middle leaf and clamp it to the main leaf?

    If u have pictors to show me thatd be awesome. Being a visual learner fails massively with words...:lol:
