    Yes. I have King coilovers with 600 Lb springs set to 2.5” lift in the front. May not be the best picture, but the truck actually sits pretty level.

    I had the same issue as you with some Alcans I custom ordered, even after a decade of use. I removed the third leaf from the bottom and the ride is now tremendously better, especially when paired with 170/60 valved shocks rather than the more common 255/70 styles. I would also recommend using the leaf spring liners rather than the little circular pads. Speedwaymotors.com sells them. Springs still are quiet after several months since rebuild.

    hahaha, saltina, love it. I'll use that from now on



    honestly I got the OME leafs as well. I don't usually keep my bed loaded and I keep the shell on in the winter (~150 lb?) and the rear is soft for DD (my fronts another story).

    here's a pic from awhile ago (after 15k, I'm now about 50k on it)
