AAL vs 3/4t Springs?

[boy&hisdogs]

I got my 4+1's in the truck this morning, and I did put them on a shackle flip at the same time but minus everything else I did the 4+1's gave me a net 2" of lift over my old worn out 3+1's.

3+1 is worthless for hauling 5000+. Did fine with a Corolla on an open deck trailer though. With the Crown Vic? Not so much.

I have towed 5000-6000 pounds lots of times, though just locally. Usually dirt in a dump bed trailer, pavers, or other small but dense things. It makes the truck squat pretty bad but it still controlls it. For me the worst part was trying to get it all moving with 3.42 gears! Next in line of complaints would be the crappy stock brakes.

Solution? More power, more gear, and more brakes!

14 bolt with bigger drums in the rear just went in yesterday, braided stainless lines and 1 ton front calipers going in later this week.... 4.88s coming soon!

Then hydroboost!

Black Bear tune at some point too

What are you doing about the 6 lug vs 8 lug difference?

HUSKY SPRING 22795

I was thinking of upgrading my rc lift with this setup possibly. It has 2 inch coils and 4 inch spindle. The 6 inch rc kit 2wd. I was gonna upgrade to 35s

Who says it's 8 lug? Did I miss a post?

Oops, forgot it was a 6 lug 14 bolt!

To be fair, I don't think he stated one way or the other. I'm just assuming he nabbed a 6 lug.
