Anyone ever have a hard time converting a nice stock truck into their build?

What about leaving the leaf spring set up and adding Caltracs? Looking at some set ups online makes me wonder if they will hang too low. Any input?

CalTracs are for one purpose only..... Straight line acceleration from a leaf spring set-up. To get max effectiveness from them will require the right compound of tire (soft, sticky rubber) vs a typical street tire. Using them depends on what you're building. As far as 'hanging too low', vs what? You mention large diameter wheels so they add inches of clearance depending on the wheel OD. Since most/many of the vehicles that use them are sporting 15" sticky tires, I can't see them hanging lower than they will function.

Check this style of truck arm vs the CPP type.... https://tinworksfabrication.com/prod...y-truck/63-72/
