No, I don't. Heck I rarely use the truck and heaviest I've ever carried is a Bowflex. Would 4 leafs be sufficient? Do you know what impact they have on ride quality/height? Softer or harsher? Lower or same height?

As far as the 15" wheels rubbing, I would have to say yes they would, but depending on backspace, maybe not. Some others w/ 15" wheels can chime in and tell you the specs to see if that is a yes or no.
That's what I was fearing Thanks. Lets see if someone has some experience with drop spindles and 15" rims. Actually a member just came to mind. I think he has a black truck, that was dropped really low, and then bagged. Can't remember his screen name though. I think he was from Canada.

About the leaf springs. I can't do that because I bought the truck with the leaf springs already removed. The back can still hold up though. I'm mostly concerned with the front suspension right now.


Thanks for you help guys.
