Flex

I just got my rear leaf springs replaced and I was on my way home and I decided to try a little flex. It was a little more of a "bigger" flex. But the truck was only flexed for 30 seconds at the max and I'm starting to feel it was a bad idea to try since I just got the leaf springs replaced today. Did I screw up by flexing with the new leaf springs? Please let me know.

 

So your concerned that you may have "over-flexed" your new leaf springs, which to the contrary are highly capable of flexing because it's a truck after all and has been engineered to withstand this position many times over. Your truck will be fine and no you didn't screw up. In fact, do more of this.

 

Thanks Brenden, I was just curious and wanted to get another opinion on this. Thanks for the reply.

 

Not to be a smartass, but it's a suspension. You're doing what it's designed for...

 

No problem bud. Welcome to TW and enjoy your new TSB leafs.

Fair warning, you're gonna want to put an AAL on that leaf pack at a minimum if you do any serious hauling with your truck. But then if you do that you're also gonna want to get some more lift up front to compensate for the increased rake you'll have. And this is how your wallet will hate you and your truck will love you.
