    When you torqued the rear leaf springs, was the truck/rear tires on the ground with some weight in the bed?

    Yeah when I did the shock relocation I torqued them on the ground. Good idea though.

    From what I read in another thread in the suspension forum it should be 8.25 inches from the axle tube to the bottom of the frame stock.

    I took your advice and removed 3rd leaf and the long overload. Lost 1.25 inches! Its perfect. Thanks for the help everyone.

    Ride is great. No weird noises or vibes. I can turn full lock with high caster and 35s with my cab mount relocation. Did 75mph smoother than ever. This thread is done. Thanks everyone!
