anyone running 3 leafs in the rear ?

[jrcaprai]

I have 5 leafs in now, and am wondering what the ride would be like with 3 leafs ?

i have three, dont, if its for the truck in your sig just dont... it will wheel hop and squat like a mother, if its not then do it i have a 275/65r15 and i have about 3 inches to the fender, and three fat guys on the tailgate make that less than an inch.

I have 3 leafs on mine and its solid, obviously I cant haul a **** ton of weight, but I have about 300 lbs in the bed right now and it only dropped about an inch. You could always get an AOL system from Ride tech.. I had a pallet full of wood that weighed about 500 Lbs and a bunch of tools in the back and with a 28inch tall tire and my 8 inch drop, the bed only dropped about 2 inches. Actually made my truck sit level! lol. I had about 2-3 inches before contacting the rear wheel well.

I'm running only 3 out back and it really isn't that bas to me buf i so have fhe wheel hop. Also have the og shocks and a 2.73 rear gear which is what i figured was causing it. I've went to the scales and had 868# in the bed and didn't botfom out. All with only 3 leaves out back and lowering shackles and no notch. I was surprised but not a big deal for me even on the ride, like a caddy on the highway. My buddies complain when they borrow it but its my daily so i must just be used to it lol. Would like to get rid of the hop, one day might build some caltracs or something similar. Think that and lowered shocks and a sway bar up front would get rid of my complaints.

the P.O. removed one of my springs in my 86 swb leaving me with 3. It is fine for everyday use, but doesn't take much to squat. I have hauled 2000lbs plus a few times and its a low, bouncy ride
