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...

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.
