Has anyone had any experience or knowledge of getting a flatter, thicker overload? it seems as though the 4X4 leaf's overload doesn't engage till it's really compressed and its very short as well compared to the 5 lug's.

has anyone replaced it with anything? are there any options out there?

was thinking bout those but idk bout the quality on those...i have a bit under 3" of sups. travel max now and when i put my blocks on it'll go down to 2"...

supersprings are way to overpriced and im not sure if it'll work when i get my blocks...

timbrens...well it'd probably just sit on my axle all the time.
