Yeh dude they are sweet, that is my line of thinking. Plus 2 shocks and plus 4s can be a bit expensive.
Theses are perfect for the job

Leaf spring articulation. If i remove the overload spring from the leaf pack how much articultation expected and is it wise to do so? Bearing in mind my truck wont be used for towing or carting hay bales

To be honest I dont think you would gain nothing as the back of the chassis hit the floor before anything, if ya go tray back might be a different story,

you can also remove the front ARB for better articulation on the front

My line of thinking was weaker springs = more articulation

If you have a difflock there's not much need for articulation


NO MORE L200, TIME FOR A MANS VEHICLE!!!!!
