Since I have a few days I was thinking of pulling out the helper spring and drilling the shackle to 4.5" to see how that worked out. You said you use 4", the only ones I see are 4.5"?

What is all the weight? I could drop 500-800 LBS in it pretty quickly. As far as a ride goes how long does it take for new springs to settle? If it's pretty quick I could have a few neighborhood kids stop in and play rock band in the back for 2-3 hours......
