my truck rides like a caddy, and I have 10 inch leaf packs. it rode rough when I put them in but since I have done a shackle flip and bought some longer shackles that were meant for a lowering application. it flexes somewhat better also.
eventually I want to do a four link with coilovers just for crazy flex offroading.

I decided I am going to go with a heavier bag. Just for shockload when i am towing. Would suck to blow one on the way to the hammers or something.
Keep the input coming...
I AM losing the leaf springs!

I am putting air bages all around with 4 link in rear and rebuilding my own 4link in frount. As long as you keep the same measurement between the upper and lower bolts of you 4link on the axle and the frame you'll be in good shape. I would go with bigger dom steel but i like to over kill just to be safe.
