If you're willing to go thru with the frame modifications to move the springs in board, I would suggest kicking around the idea of 4 linking it and using coil overs rather than leaf springs.

That's what I did.

I am definitely replying to an old thread. But I have soon will have a 95 Dakota and want maximum rear tire clearance at minimal effort. I saw 2 items that I think would accomplish that. So for the front I thought about welding the pictured pair of brackets to the frame for the front of the leaf springs. For the rear of the leaf spring the "Slider " brackets would be welded to the frame. Then a partial boxing in of the frame where those new brackets are welded.

I am entertaining what was done in the above pics as well. The truck in the pics was well done. Thank you for posting them. If the springs are moved completely inside the frame Ill have to get a fuel cell to mount in the bed.
