Driveshaft will be here on tuesday:/

i looked at deavers but they are not for towing and payloads. I would just be wasting my money if thats the truth. I tow 5-6 4 wheelers every other weekend

Thats why I was looking at the skyjacker springs

Custom...Order... There are vendors who will build leaf packs without charging arm and leg.

Pohl Springs (spokane wa, near me)
Alcan Spring co (I forgot where, but your direction)

There's plenty of other companies out there who can and will assemble leaf packs tailored to your lift and payloads

if you give deaver a call they can add some extra leafs in there for if you need additional payload...thats what theyre doing to mine. its a DD so its driven everyday and theyrll need to last.

Alright, I'll give you until June for the TTR jamboree at barnwell

those f-toys are pretty sweet though. What some of the guys are doing to those is pretty impressive.
