i know but i dont want to "trim"...and once the 35s are down to the cords its getting 38's...good luck gettin those on stock...that requires more than a little trimming any way LOL
you really want proof dont you...its at my house now, drove it to work then home...its gonna take some getting used to, rides like an empty gravel truck with over-inflated tires LOL pretty rough...well really rough, and from the mild lil bit of crawling i did today i dont think those springs are gonna flex, at all...so next time i get an hour of daylight to spare im gonna test that theory
when i was out rippin round i head some clunking quite a bit going over really rough terrain, but then again i have a pair of rad arm brackets in the box and i bet they got some air time with the way that bitch bounces...ima need a bladder implant for my next birthday LOL...oh well still worth it

Prozon, it would appear you are now a millionair. Now may I PLEASE borrow a couple bucks? I am thinking about doing a D60 on my truck.

I'm not sure which springs you went with, but if you're looking to change them out I really like the springs on my bronco. They're superflex deaver coils from bronco grave yard. Good work on the SAS.

im good with it, may not flex much but it will still work just fine, like i said since it doesnt flex i dont have to worry about developing clearance issues with the diff/x-member and the trac bar/x-member...im good with that, also wont have to worry about tires hitting fenders LOL
this truck is too much fun LOL went back out to those hills today and picked a different/bigger line starting with a 6-7 foot near vertical climb that scared the **** out of my friend in the passenger seat, i wanna go back soon and get a good vid of that one, he got two short ones but they have some "language" in them LOL but if he ever sends them to me ill post em up...its funny cause you can hear him freakin out a bit in the beginning...he is a mud guy, never done any crawling, so even though that stuff is still pretty mild it made his day LOL

Does it flex more or less than it DID? Probably less right?
I know its a little more work.. but I would suggest throwing different springs on in the future and trying to get a bit more flex out of it.
Some of the things I regret with my truck are that I have not got good enough flex out of it and that I don't have big enough tires on it.
I will remedy my clearance and flexing issues within the next month though. I'm trying to get my car reassembled. I have too many projects these days.....
It would be great to find that million dollars.....
