Thanks 57taskforce!

About the rear springs - part of why I am reluctant to change is not just money. I'm a bit concerned that these ez-ride or soft ride 'flexy' type of springs will have less weight capacity than a stock spring? And the stock with blocks and add a leaf will have a pretty solid feel, especially when towing/loaded?

I know most are anti-block, but my other truck a 2nd gen dodge cummins 4x4 has 4" blocks from the factory on it and I haul a huge heavy cabover camper offroad with it and tow a boat. Makes me wonder if axle wrap is 'that big a deal' if you drive responsibly/normally?

I've seen people mention getting extended parking brake cables made by inline tube. I'm going to ask them. Not sure how much longer to get them made. The simple answer is 6" longer for 6" lift...?
