alright, this is what my rear looks like curently.

i have a set of springs i picked up from lms for cheap. its a 4 leaf pack, with a bit more arch, and a shim to corect pinion angle.

i figured id give em a go, even though i want sure exactly how theyd wind up
i swaped the shim to the bottom, threw in a set of the superlift soa brakets (i know i know, theres better/cheaper ways) and hung it all on the truck with the warior shackles that were already there. i got the truck on jack stands, took a quick measurement and im like 4 inches or so higher in the back then i am in the front.

i guess the easiest way to split the difference would be to put a shorter shackle in.
both pairs of normal stock leaves i have are beat, so i dont want to put them in.

any one have any thoughts, sugestions or input?
 






Stock shackles and hopefully they'll settle a bit more. That's about all you can do. Unless you want to run an AAL and go back to SUA. :D
 






#### no.

anyone know of a beefier replacement for the stock ones? my stock ones were donated to a co-workers wife's truck.
