Still learning to type on the iPad

If I could afford 35 spline axles and a high 9 hod head I'd run a 60. But for now it's gotta be the 1 Ton axle.

It'd match your leafs.

They will be the only thing chebbie, might even go the newer dodge leafs like what is on Greg's truck. I believe they re bout the same length.

 

[Josh40601]

so why not just go with the F150 (97-04 style) rear leafs? Aren't they the same size?

 

[86 slo-vo]

No I believe they are shorter, and also 3 inch wide but I could be wrong.

 

[Josh40601]

i thought the chebby and ranger springs were 3" wide. whoopsie

 

[86 slo-vo]

Nope 2.5.

Mine will move the axle back about 2".

It doesn't have to move it, I can put my spring mounts anywhere. I need to do some measuring and see what my wheel base is looking like.

I'm hoping to be about 115-117

Would love to but don't want to run full hydro right now, I'll be see'ing some street time so I don't trust the full hydro.
