Well, i need a spring over pack... i found a lightly used (street queen) G50 Ranger pack for cheap. My needs are dual sport- crawling and medium speed, not really what you guys consider hauling ass but rather quick for a solid front axle truck.
The problem is, i need something with no more than 1.5" of lift over a stock 4door pack. If i can swing a good aftermarket pack, im going to build shackle sliders into the frame and do away with the shackle altogether. This will put me back down in ride height to a standard spring over w/ 4door pack.
Since im gunning for best of both worlds here, i dont really need springrate capable of taking whoops at 70mph. Im only running timbren bumps and Bilstein 9100's, and coils/radius arms front. Sort of a "medium speed crawler" if that makes sense.
