Re: 1 ton 52's

I'd like to know what spring pack and rates you guys are going with. Some say they get the 5 leaf packs and eliminate the over load, some say they find other number leafs and make mods as well. I would like to do this for the on road ride quality as well but my concern is ride height. I don't want 4"s of lift that typically comes with this swap, I only want 2"s. I also need the support for the big block and heavy bumper/winch combo out front without the springs being to stiff.

As for the rear; I would like to do a 56" spring with a shackle flip but again this nets 4"'s (sometimes more) of lift. Any suggestions out back that would yield 2-3"s of lift but maintain ride quality and load hauling capacity?
