Me & pops finally put together my leaf packs today. Let's just say that after they were put together they prob weighed about 200-250lbs per pack, how you ask tractor springs baby! Got a buddy that works at a truckin outfit as a mech. always has these leaf packs (replaces them in pairs) that end up usually with a busted main leaf or two worked fine for what I wanted to accomplish Three inches wide they are and a half inch thick per leaf. The reason why I did this was due to my dying drivers rear leaf pack, a whimpy 3 plus an overload, was kickin the axle back causing it to sit almost an inch lower on the left rear hence pushing the truck down the road grinding down my right front tire. It's kind interesting that when I put the new and improved drivers side pack back in (just about had to break out the cherry picker) that I had to move my axle forward about a half inch. But anyway you might think man that thing must ride rough with 13 leafs, lets put it this way my dad's 72 w-200 power wagon would make you wince when you saw a ripple in the pavement ahead, mine surprisingly rides quite well not a kidney buster at all Probably due to the coil sprung front end now I'll finally be able to carry a freakin load in the thing. I'll post pics in my gallery soon.

Oh yeah the 4-3/4" stock blocks ain't there no more either!!

LIKE THE GM WHEEL CYLINDERS WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT!!!!!!

 

Wow that is crazy. I can't see how it'd ride very well at all. I threw 400lbs in back of mine in stock form, granted I suspect the shocks aren't working like they should but still. It made a huge difference in ride with that weight. You'd probably need a bed full of rocks for yours.
