    I picked up a set of leaf springs from an old scout a while back.
    Our first attempt was to just remove the aal and the overload and slap on the bottom three leaves of the donor pack.
    That essentially put me back to where I was -~1/4". It rode and flexed nice enough that now what I'm doing is adding the top two of the donor leaves (cut slightly to fit).

    Our current dilemma is that the donor leaves have too small of a hole for the centering pins and we destroyed our compliment of 3/8" drill bits the last time. So I sent Brett to Home Depot for some more drill bits and another stripping disk for the grinder. :D

    Assembled!
    As soon as the paint dries we'll put them back on the truck and see what's what.

    Make sure you tighten the u-bolts! I heard they can come loose if not properly tightened.

    Yeah, Charlie. We decided to run the ubolts tight rather than your "slop spec"

    Thanks Travis. The final test will be on the trail, but from all indications I think these will be perfect!
