had the extra leaf spring put in. there were 4 leafs, now i have five. i also recently installed the rancho rsx's. (1999 gvwr 6250).
yesterday got a yard of dirt with 3/4 stone dumped in the bed.
although i know it was more than i should have been carrying, the truck took it real well. had 3/4 of a yard of the same dumped in the weekend before and the truck handled it like a champ.
the ride unloaded is also great. its a little stiffer, but i dont get the roll in corners as much as i used to. i was nervous about screwing with the springs, but the truck rides, handles and carries load way better now than it did before.
should have done this awhile ago.
