    Yep, did just like that. Followed your pics.

    Also, for those who install the leafs themselves, it will be easier to position the first leaf on the axle and get the pin to line up with the hole in the axle if you loosen the other side. Don't remove the ubolts for the other side. Just loosen the nuts a bit. Then the axle will move easier. And don't tighten the ubolts until you get both sides on and lined up. I also didn't torque the shackles until the truck was back on the ground and after I and my wife jumped up and down in the bed to settle the suspension a bit.

    Yep, she had a good time! We had some classic rock playing in the garage!

    She is the best! She helped me put both bumpers on. Helped put the sliders on. Held the sway bar out of the way while I put the coils in the front. She is amazing!

    Who is running the Super Heavy Duty leaf pack? About to kick the Dakars since they can't hold weight.

    No idea. 7 or 8, I haven't counted. It's just the heavy duty pack.

    Dobinson’s kit on SR5. Went with the 314 front end and the heavy 111 leaf pack in the rear. Maintained factory rake as I intend to add my RTT in the near future. Thanks to @Speed Freek for the professional install

    So Im in the market for new leaf springs and have been doing my homework around here trying to find a pack with an ideal lift for me as well as not creating too many driveline issues. These definitely are meeting my criteria however I'm not too sure which option I should go with L59-111-R or L59-110-R. I have a topper with a rack and awning as well as a drawer system with gear at all times. Probably somewhere between 300- 500 lbs.

    Also doing a shock relocation with a 14" shock and was wondering how well these springs droop?
