First of all they look like mcdonalds arches and more importantly they are soo dang stiff you need to run a link setup/panhard bar. On my 68 Suburban (pic) ive got 25" leafs on it and it was a horrible ride! Really stiff and unstable yadda yadda yadda, granite i have a 540 bbc in it its just not safe, depending on your financial situation id look into coils or like others are saying go with a shackle flip and if you have to recessed hangers. (offroaddesign.com) But if your looking for big leaf springs go to customsuspension.com Here ill make it easy for ya! http://www.customsuspension.com/stor....php?cPath=449

In regards to running 52" michelins, there friggen heavy! and will destroy anything less than 2 1/2 tons if you plan on mashing on the peddal or doing any crawling/mudding. Also keep in mind they are initially on big heavy military trucks so if your looking to crawl with them the sidewalls are wayyy to thick to flex at all on your rig. Just my 2 cents though, hope this helps...
