Yeah I feel you on that. I originally was going to run a 5 yr old set of 4" rough country leaf springs but the bastards were so stiff I couldn't get them to flex hardly at all. Even with the diesel sitting in the frame. I found a new set of superlift springs closeby that were brand new with brand new bushings so I snatched them up. Problem is once I fixed the angles, it is just too high. Top it off it is only on 31" tall tires right now so it will have to go up at least another 2" from putting 35s on it. So we will see.
