    Anyone have some king 650# springs they want to sell? A little too light front end wise with my 600s.

    yeah

    ...it needed a lot of modification around the pumpkin, and also needed to be cut 4" shorter on each end to clear the U bolts
    (Ill add the 4" back in with clearance tubes for the U-bolts when I relocate the axle shock mounts)

    yeah id do it again this way, took me a full day to do so not bad.

    Im not super excited about where i put the limit strap mounts, id like them closer to the leafs. But i need to move some things around like my brake line mount to make some room...ill modify it later on.

    I’ve used the ruff stuff one. It took some work to get it so there weren’t any gaps, but it worked out well. I’ve got a couple of dirt designs trusses sitting in my metal rack now. It’s designed for our axles and won’t require any fitting.
