    HO LEE COW, DUDE! lol

    Have you considered running a double triangulated 4 link quarter elliptical in the rear until you swap in the coilovers? (boy that's a mouth-full! :laugh:) It might be a bit funny considering your super high-end front end :p but You'll have extremely good rear flex to match front and still have much better load carrying capabilty than than coilovers... Also, it's a lot cheaper than coilovers. :cool: I'd do it... haha

    If you're still wanting to go with leaves in the rear for now than I like your idea for the chevy 63s or a custom pack... Those, along with some creeper joints will still give out some nice flex....... :notsure:

    I still like the quarter elliptical idea best though! :D You just can't beat a well triangulated 4 link... and the leaves will serve just fine to retain your ability to haul stuff around.

    Yeah the only problem with linking the rear is I'll have to relocate the gas tank to the bed and I still need that bed space :(

    Yeah but in the bed :confused: I'm still losing space. I don't want to mount it behind the axle for risking hitting it on a rock.

    I think I saw it on JC Whitney or Jeg's site. But they have a steel fuel cell with a high pressure bladder. Get that, relocate, build a badass skid, you ding it???? There is no way your going to pop the bladder.

    true..there has to be some nook or cranny it'll fit in tho..Even at the very end of the bed you have a space of about 36x13x8 before its lower then the actual bed you could maybe mess will..would have even more space without the stock rear crossmember..

    Interesting..

    I was also thinking of fuel cells in the sides of the bed. so that i can keep most of my bed open.

    I was thinking one on each side of the truck just above the wheel well. I could get at least 2 10gal fuel cells in there.

    Very true. You would tie them together or would you do like the old Ford dual tanks, where they had 2 gauges and a switch to turn on the 2nd pump?

    Ahhh i see. That would be cool. I can see that working no problem especially if you modified the the wheel wells them selves..

    Id want to tie them together..but i think you might not be able too..not sure tho. But would keep things simpler thats for sure.

    i think the best way would be a switch like the old fords getting the fuel to pass from tank to tank might cause a problem.
