SUPER heavy duty spring pack
I made a spring pack to lift the rear of my 250 1.5" from a set of two year old F8000 dumptruck springs. I only used the bottom three springs but is there anything I should lookout for like changes to pinion angle or anything unexpected like that? I have the alignment bolt in properly but wanted to ask you 'pros' for sure. I know it'll be a little rougher riding in the rear but I can deal with that, hopefully it'll help some in the turns and with wheelhop.
P.S. How do I disconnect the emergency brake cable?

Ok I got it all finished today and am suprised that so far I can only tell a little difference in the ride, not as rough as I though it would be. I also found out while changing the right side springs that the shocks were shot and had to replace them and the rear brake pads along with the drivers' side caliper. I thought I needed new shocks up front but didn't know the rear was that bad, they didn't even re-extend when I compressed them by hand!
