I got a little money to spend!
 
So I got a little bit of cash and I was thinking of getting rear drop springs, a notch and an adjustable track bar for the rear. Also getting the sway bar mounts for the front so that I can install the sway bar I have. I currently have TJ springs in the rear and if you set a beer can in the rear it sags.

My question is are the CPP springs gonna be the same way or can I actually load my bike in the back without the truck bottoming out? I'm not sure if Im gonna need the notch with 5 inch springs but I wanna have it in case I go lower.

I currently have six lugs in the rear and five in the front so I could spend the money converting the rear but I have baby moons hiding the bolt patterns so that doesnt really concern me.

Any better suggestions on how to spend the money?

I think they make "heavy duty" drop springs for towing. Stiffer ride with more weight capacity

You can do rear bags with schrader valves for not much more than springs and then you're adjustable if you do carry a load.

I have a set of small bags that a buddy gave me I just wasnt sure how they'd handle any loads. They're pretty small looking. I'll post pics later.

You could also use a set of rear "helper" springs... My 65 came with them.

I forgot, I have a small universal c notch. Is the frame on our trucks at an angle that would prevent me from using it? Its really straight.

I have 2500# bags in the rear of mine, no notch yet and I love the ride.. The load capacity is good too.. Check my build thread for some pics.

If you go with 5 inch drop you will need new shocks and a relocator kit. Hows that for "helping" spend your money?
