Mullishacrew which MMs are you running? I want black 951s. Im asking because if you're running 951s I'd like to see a pic...
Kiszka I never thought about the shackles hitting the frame...that sounds like a possibility on mine because it just feels like it bottoms out but doesn't hardly travel at all. Thanks again guys

I am always hangin' here, ready to put in my 2 cents about my Kelderman system.

Bottom line is, these old trucks were (over)built tough. with lots of reserve. I once jacked mine up to check, thinking that someone had secretly welded the springs together!?!

Not really, but these ol' girls do ride rough without some aftermarket help. You could pull springs, but that cuts capacity. I like the air bags - with a little luck and patience, you can find a set used.

yup 951 black is what i got id go to 17" though my 16's are so close to the rear drums if you got any rock in there it would score the rim badly and with 17's you have more variety of tires size, with only a 16" the biggest i could go was 35" ill post a pic when i can find one here in a minute.
