Yeah, I thought I had mentioned that. I usually do change the square to round. Not this time, though. I think I've already spent what the rear leaf springs would have cost when the plan was keep it cheap (still would have this issue, though). Yeah, I'm pretty broke lately, but mostly because this is just for now, to run off the tread on the BFGs I have before they decide to crack up on me. I have bigger plans for the truck later on... although still tempted to tear into it now that summer is over and I missed driving it already. I am heavying up the whole drivetrain... 4.10 (maybe 4.46) HO52 No-Spin/Dana60 Tru-Trac, TH400/NP205, & rebuild original 350 to 383. I may take the 4" lift out and go down 2" later. I want to eventually run between 285/75 & 255/85-16s, but maybe stay 35s a while, who knows. I'm keeping the truck forever.
