So, I've done a fair bit of reading and know all what the chevy leaf swap entails, move hangers, cut cab mount, move e brake mount, stockers give 2" lift etc. Here's a few questions I have:

1. Has anyone who has done the swap towed, or hauled much, do they notice if the extra length helps ride quality?

2. I was wondering what you guy's think of the payload capacity and ride of the chevy lift leafs and how much they sag under load etc.


I've got 5.5" procomp chevy leafs, and Belltech shackles, and will be running 7" EB coils up front for my SAS. I'm gonna be running 35's for a while and then cut out the fnders, flexiflare it and run 37's when I do my engine swap next year. Lemme know what you guys think

I've got the stock chevy 63" springs in my ranger. I removed the overload leaf (only 3 leaves in the pack now) Withe the back loaded down with camping gear, coolers, bbq, propane tank, water, spare parts, tools, etc. it probably sagged about 2". I bet the overload would help out big time for hauling but i'd rather have the flex. The chevy leafs ride much better than my explorer leaf set up that i had before.

Any other questions let me know.
