    Op should collect money from everyone that did this mod.. Saved me $450!
    I finally got the balls to try it, I had my dad help me do one side at a time over a period of 2 weeks. We took it slow and steady but can easily be done in a few hours
    Here is truck as it dots right now. Next on the do list are OME 884 coils to bring the front back up

    Thanks euro and I agree.. I got a little more lift than expected, I swapped out every leaf except the main one and I would like to know why this hasn't been stickied yet. This could save so many people some money

    My toyforda(trade mark of doug) spring are Shaweet!!!!! The mistake I made is using goop to glue the bike inter-tube to the springs, cause a couple of them are making their way out, but they haven't squeaked once. I have yet to take it in the dirt/ mud. I still might add a short spring on the bottom of the pack switching out 2 of the 3-leaf AAl that is pretty worn out.

    On another note... this is a sad day for OMD, after almost 2years of beating,pounding,torchering his leaf pack my main product tester Matt (RecklessTaco) finally succeeded in breaking the bottom Ford spring on the pack I put together for him, he did this at Ocotillo yesterday, witness reports state that his truck was seen hitting tall whoops repeatably with ass end 3 & 4ft in the air.....Well done Mathew......:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
