Here's the center console I threw together to mount accessories on. Right now it's got the brake controller and the Comp mounted with some switches yet to come. I'm gonna run some back-up light and fog lamp switches on there and tryin to decide if it's worthwhile to use a switch for the trailer lights that I can control by a seperate switch on here to.

Aren't you worried you'll crack a spring with the pressure points on your leafs? I know the load is supposed to balance, but with that fulcrum there where you separated them I'd be real worried they were gonna crack.

So you don't load heavy very often I take it? 'Cause if I did that to the shop truck those suckers would last about a month...
|
Personally I like my overloads and the stiff ride but to smooth it out just throw some weight on it.
|
The overloads get well used on this truck. But what I have there is the same thing that came in there from the factory, just about an 1/8 inch shorter in height is the only difference.

Can you circle where you feel they would crack? |
The overloads got tested and held up so far. I had em bent backwards down over the spacer. 6000 pounds worth of gooseneck trailer along with 10ea 1500 plus pound round bales. The loads will get heavier later in the season, this was just first cutting.

UB,
Looks great! ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Chad, I have some D25 Front springs for my truck. Since it looks like you have already been through the process, how about I help you do mine? I am a great wrench getter and I can bring the refreshments. I can also bring some Elk or Deer meat for dinner. What do you say? :pca1: Do you have a list of front suspension parts you replaced (sway bar end links etc)? |
If your lookin for somethin not listed here let me know what and I'll try to hunt down the info.

This project has taken so long because of all the wrong parts received and un-expected things that popped up so I'll try to save other that misery here.
