    Yeah, only reason I said that is because I know the steering is wonky when in excess.

    If trophy trucks had leaf springs, these are the shackles they would have.

    12" shackles. Springs started out life as a 50T pack. I've done some work to them to suite my needs including an extra leaf between the 3rd and 4th leaf, custom arch, removed all the pucks and rounded and chamfered each end of every leaf.

    I'm a LT noob. How does that compare from a typical sua setup with deavers? Trying to gain as much knowledge as possible.

    No difference from a suspension cycling perspective. The 50T pack is the same length as a deaver f67, e30, or h70 pack. I just needed something with a bit more arch and spring rate to handle the weight I carry and still leave me with respectable uptravel numbers. As it sits now, I have 9.5" up and 7" down.

    The manual labor with removing the pucks and chamfered ends is just because I'm anal retentive and I don't like shit in between the leafs.

    I don't remember off hand but I believe the f67 is the one I plan to use. It's been a while since I've looked those up. And it will be a while until I get my rear setup going. Hoping for this time next year. Who makes the 50t? Super newb, I know.

    The F67s sag out real quick with alot of weight. The next step up for deaver would be the e30 pack its set up for more weight. The 50t pack is from engage Offroad.
