How has that worked out for you?

I was thinking about doing this same thing.

Love the stance and look of your truck; it's one of my desktops now.
It works pretty good, but the ride is rough on bigger bumps or when loaded. The leaf springs are very soft and that combined with the shocks being layed over and less effective results in the rear end blowing through the suspension travel very quick.

Easy solution may be some overload springs.
