    i removed asll bupstops but i suggest you jus get a hack saw and cut them down to size, a 3 inch steel block. not aluminum ones(beefed taco has sick ass 3 inch blocks). and the 3 leafs on the back i pulled the one in the middle, so only the first main one, and the short helper leaf. and the front is just torsioned. lol

    How hard is that torsioning? I'm reading about it but i don't quite understand it. You know of a good website that has pictures that still work ?

    I think you should raise up the torsion's an inch, and do the BJ flip mod and torque everything down to spec.

    this way you can still be as low as you did earlier, but still have more "spring rate"

    :D how did you paint the truck anyway?
