i meant here between the axle and the spring..... this looks to me like there are 2 blocks stacked together.....

No that's one block.

I'm missing the overloads (i think)

Benjamin 05-11-2008 05:36 PM

oh ok... must be the casting seam there in the middle. never had a 4wd truck so i didn't know how big a block was back there.

Awesome idea. I like the reasoning. :U:

Here is the rear springs. I moved the stock block that was under the overloads down under the main pack and put a new home made 3/4" thick block under the over loads. The factory block was that little bit taller is why I moved it. I also put a 1/8 inch block under the second spring in the main pack. This gives a smoother ride when not loaded. In essence it makes it a progessive spring pack.

My trucks was actually listed as a Heavy Duty 3/4T when I bought it. I was told that the only difference between it and a single wheel 1 ton was that it had 1 less spring in the pack on each side of the rear. So all the trucks may not have the top overloads but I know everybody has the bottom over load spring.

my 3500 didn't have the top overloads but did have the bottom overloads. GVWR on my truck is 10,500lbs FWIW. i took out the bottom overloads to increase my ride quality and man did it make a difference.....

Thats why I seperated the springs that little bit. It softened the ride way up on the rear end and when I put weight in it they are all still there to hold it up. Get the best of both worlds. I should be loadin it down with the first loads of hay in a couple of weeks and that will be the true test over the road.
