scratch, what are you running for springs on the rear? I'll have to check the wrecking yard for an accessible frame to get the mounts off off. It snowed a bit last night but now most of it is gone; so it will be easy to walk through the yard....

i used my stock springs with the lower,thickest overload leaf removed,has 4 leafs per side

I used mono leafs with A-body lift bars/A-body 8 3/4/a-body shock plates/u-bolts on my 440 truck with a flip flop also,still working things out with the mono leafs but seem to have it working good with air shocks at 40 psi. it would drop and hit the frame when letting off of it.

just right now and the rear of the truck lifts about 5 inches and really plants the tires on launch.

IIRC it was stock leafs with the overload leaf removed and has 4 leafs..not sure if he has any clamps..I dont think it does.

mine dont and it has no wheel hop or leaf seperation.

Thanks scratch; your' yellow truck looks great I'd like to see a pix of the installed caltracs on a d150, especially interested on how the caltrac bracket functions inside of the stock front hanger. Maybe I'll do a search to see if there are any pics. Thanks for the great info and inside tips on this topic..

Flite727, I like that front spring hanger; what are you using for the rear hanger?

thanks sctatch- the ramcharger has been on standby since my daughter was born in may of '09. we live in a condo & all my junk is at my parents farm a ways away, so until we can get a place of our own w/ a pole barn or a big enough garage (soon hopefully) it will sit.
