    Question: Leaf springs, do you remove the brackets?

    any ideas where I would start looking to see if there are any adverse affects on the springs by welding on them, would simply removing the spring pack clamps, and replacing them with the "open-top" u clamps, improve flex in the rear on the stock springs.

    Question: Leaf springs, do you remove the brackets?

    The U brackets are an awesome idea, quesiton though. Im assuming welding to your leaf springs could have adverse affects on how it flexes..cant think of any other way to attach them though.

    SUPER CHARGERS IN HAND!!!!

    Anyone know a close estimate as to how close Vortech is with the SOHC model....I was following explorer expresses progress,and they are almost done. But the Vortech adds an AMAZING look to the 4.0. I would much rather go that route, assuming power gains would be close to each other...
