    yea i have heard mixed things. Silas said his where stiff as shit with no weight in the back..and with 700lbs of rocks they barely squated..

    Jerry also said his were stiff unloaded..

    but those were some of the first ones made..wonder if they have changed the spring rates..

    You have some serious weight back there! I'll get just a little neg arch in the front half of my springs but never in the back. Now that I think of it, Alcans might be a good option for second gens who want some load capacity...

    But your rig is Frankenstein, the heaviest rig in the west! Are you running extended bumps? Got any pics I can plagiarize from?
