I'm rephasing my original four questions:

1) On picking which SS spring to use, is it going to be a trial and error? First try the 002,003 springs, and if too light, go to the 3400-3600# springs? Is that why you stated wildcargo that I should put two rear holes for both lengths of SS springs?

2) Will I encounter anything weird by mounting the axle under the spring?

3) I found some info on mounting the springs. It states the leaf spring should be mounted at a 5 degree rake forward, measuring from the front and rear eyes centerline. Do you guys find that this works?

4) What are the stock shackle lenghts? I'm assuming the different models had different lenghts. The info I found stated you don't want to go more than 1-inch beyond stock. Is this correct?

5) Has anyone mounted the springs at different heights, so the rear of their car sits level, and if you did, did it cause problems with the launch at the dragstrip with slicks?

It is not important weather or not the truck sits level or not in the back. I was just wondering if it makes a difference, thats all.


Thanks guys,

Dave
