I want to get a nice set of those Trxus'. They are awesome, but heavy as hell.
I might go with KM2's again... Or MTZ's or the Cooper STT's

I've been eyeballing the STT's lately. Buddy of mine picked up a set of blems for $580 mounted and balanced. Only thing wrong with them was the white letters where messed up. Those go on the inside anyways...

I'm gonna be getting some cooper sttt soon. Every review I've read has nothing but good things to say about them. Looking at tread depot.com 163 each for 32s.

Bastard pack Lift spring nightmare
So I finally decided to replace my wore out leaf springs with a S-10 spring bastard pack I kept the bottom spring and used 3 of the S-10 springs and left the top spring in place I noticed that the center bolts were a differant size than the S-10 spring but since I had had both I used smaller 5/16 center bolts since both the top and bottom springs were the smaller size. To me it made more sense that trying to drill spring steel.
I used 2 degree shims under the leafs and got this all bolted together and took it for a spin. Im getting a growling noise witch could be coming from the diff it seems bouncey did I screw up somewere? I'm really not looking forward to tearing this all apart again but it looks like thats like were I'm headed anyone have any Ideas on were I might have screwed up here?

I got 5 inches all together granted my old springs were proably sagging 2 inches. I'm not sure what a SYE is but im pretty sure I don't have one. I think Im going to remove one of the leafs one was so long it all the way up to the front mounting bolt.

Right on. I'm trying to do a 2" bastard pack without it being add a leafy. I might just go for some OME leafs instead for quality. We'll see.
