I bought this mini spring pack off sanderson welding. why do you said it's a big no no for welding them together?

Not trying to hi-jack, but.....Do you still need a track bar relocating bracket, or adjustable bar with the shackles?

IMO, an adjustable trac bar is a nice addition to any leveling kit.

If you use a drop bracket you need to use a matching drop pitman arm so that the trac bar and drag link still arc in phase w/o any bumpsteer.

I've been considering the same by replacing my rear 4" blocks with 2" to 2 1/2" blocks. If I raise the front 2" to 2 1/2" it wont fit in the garage.

i can't see what differnce it makes with a mini spring pack if it's welded or not. the springs ain't going to flex anyway. if you see them up close you'll know they are WAY too short to. besides they are bolted through the factory springs anyway, in essence they are all acting like a block IMHO.
