reverse shackle, stock leaf springs in the front are setup backwards so every impact from the from preloads and unloads them against the motion of the truck.

The absolute best way to go would be to convert the dana 60 to coils. either steal a dodge setup or cut and weld cups on yourself. Or I even think a company makes a kit for it, i want to say Donahue does but im not 100% on that
