I have a couple of questions about this mod:

Do you have to run a dropped front spring hanger with these springs?

Has anyone made a set by combining the front and rear leaves from an 82 truck? If so what leaves did you use?

I am looking to clear 35's and I don't want the truck to be excessively tall. I plan on running chevies in the back.

you don;t need a drop hanger, but it adds lift since rears usualy sit pretty flat, i have top 2 toy rear, bottem 3 from a 4" lift yj pack + 2" drop hanger and 2" longer than stock shackle for a total of 6" of lift. i needed a 2.5" block for the chevies. now i removed the block and am going to lower the front the same. i don;t know what leaf or leafs i will be changing. the farther you move the axle the less lift you need, also you need crossover.:D

You can run 35 with a 3 inch lift . You might have to do a little cutting around the wheel wells . I have chevys in the rear . The front will be getting rears as soon as I get out my lazy ass and do them . And I'm going to run with 2 inch allpro greesable shackles .
