i added one more pic to my second post, u can see my leaf springs are the same as a 1 ton. got to love the camper package. i dont know about mpg any more. im shooting for 500-550 twin turbo daily tow rig. i guess if i keep my foot out of it and change the rear gears from 4.10's to 3.73 i might get a lil something

heres a few mor epics. got the rear drop kit in along with the new rear. my g/f is about 5'10 so you can see how far it dropped down. take a look at the 6" c-clamp that broke. it was holding the springs together and almost shatter my knee when it let loose. it must have had a small crack (always check your tools). right now the rear is lowering than the stock front end
