how many leafs in the pack ? and the overload on the bottom is a given .

7+1 or 8+1 or 9+1 ? the +1 is the overload .

i like my 22-547 springs . nice lighter ride . and i put in timbren bump stops for when i am loaded heavy .

My original springs are 8/1, a little less than a 3" spring pack, I'm guessing they're rated at 2600lbs? Just wanting a simple spring setup, no over loads or bump stops, I don't mind a little stiffer ride when M/T. I ended up with a new set of 9/1 General Springs #22 617, rated at 3955 lbs, 4 1/16 pack. I think that may really affect the ride when empty though.

you will know there in there . . .

you can always pull a leaf or 2 per pack . but space them apart if you do . dont pull 2 direct leafs . ex: #3 and #4 . . . go #3 and #5 that kind of spacing .
