    Yep its all about set-up and fitting your own trucks needs.
    Your truck works good, ive seen it in action.
    *The Leaf springs are only one factor. Shackles, Leaf placement, shock angle, rear end etc. etc.. etc... I can go on for a while..lol
    I honestly think it is way harder to set up a leaf sprung truck than a linked truck IMO. The years I raced in Linked trucks, we only spent a fraction of time on setting up the rear compared to Leafs.

    Nope, no wheel on it. I was loading it into my truck over my spares and the tire got caught on the strap and i pulled on it a couple times and it sliced open. Too bad for the guy who came to pick it up lol
