52" up front with a Cummins

[gerlbaum]

Hi all,

I am about ready to drop my Cummins into my 1973 k10. While I had the bay cleared, I wanted to do some suspension work. I am considering putting my 52" springs up front, with an add-a-leaf in the pack (extra weight of cummins is ~500 over my 350 - Cummins wet is 1100, 350 wet is around 500-600).

I was curious if you thought this might flex too much with the extra weight. I was thinking the add-a-leaf would be enough for the extra weight capacity. This would be 70% on road vehicle, the other time some mild 4x4.

I appreciate your opinions.
