I like Daves suggestion about EDS as you'll be able to tailor the spring to your app for rate and ride height.
I don't remember the specific year/model, but somewhere in history I remember reading that Chassis Engineering got the springs for their kit originally from a Dodge van, just don't recall if it was full size or mini van. They then based their production units on that spring. While I've used the CE setup a few times, I've always had to use lowering blocks to get the back end at the right height. And always had to change them after awhile as the springs settled. Also had to play with the number of leaves used to "adjust" the rate. So, with all that, and the age factor, a new EDS spring pair might actually end up being a decent deal.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I'm just plain confused, I have posted reply's just like this one and they have not come through or have been deleted. I have emailed a Moderator and Admin with no response, is there anybody who knows who I should try to contact so I can post my truck build ? I've got lots of questions and really like the help I receive here.
Thanks

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
