    Ya those leafs are fucked. Just go pick up some stock 88+ c15 springs mine work great, kept overloads on, I loose a little bit of potential up travel but get tones of droop and little to no noticeable axle wrap. Rides great at speed offroad and flexes smooth. I will eventually put a trac bar on but its way down on the todo list

    I haven't had any problems with my 63s... Sure they get a little wrap but they haven't looked like those sky jacker leafs!! Mine still have good arches. No traction bar.

    I'm debating on what set of leafs to put back under the truck. I'll have a traction bar built before my next trip out. The idea of twisting another set of skyjackers doesn't sit well with me.

    If I dump the clutch I can spin my 39.5's but I'm pretty sure I still get a decent amount of axle wrap. The ovl's on the tacoma have been cut down a little though

    If I had a manual I'd be able to spin them. If I hold the break I'm sure I could.

    It's really nice on the trail though. I never need to worry about burning up the clutch or shifting while I'm about to fall off the cliff and die lol.

    Ha I guess you have a point there. I just love all the different gearing options I have with dual cases and a manual.

    Are your skyjackers the set for the 1500 or the 2500? The ones that I twisted are for the lighter truck and I'm wondering if I'd have better luck with the heavier leafs.
