Nice one Jag.

Only problem I can see with that wouyld be that the spring rate would increase the lower you went. But sounds like it might be worth investigating. I guess you could use air bags but just mount them in such a way to push the truck down.

My dad used the bags of sand to keep the rear wheels from spinning on our 54. It worked.
