Ya, it has a 2.5/4 drop now. Since it was a Big 10/Heavy Half to start with, it was higher than average I guess?

I have noticed that the rear spings are contacting the bed support at the shackle end. That could be holding it up some as well. Hopefully the new springs will remedy that as well.

I would recommend rather than swapping springs, just take some leafs out of the ones you have. Mine is a heavy half and it came with 8 leaf springs that had a ridiculous overload spring. I took out the overload plus another one on in the middle of the pack somewhere and it made a big difference. It rides much smoother and it lowered the rear pretty much level with the front. I can still haul a load in the back too no problem.

Keep in mind, a longer leaf spring will actually ride much smoother than a shorter one. If you take some leafs out of your long springs, you can actually end up with the same spring rate but a smoother ride than the short springs.

Nah. I would recommend a flip kit and 3" spindles with a drop spring for the front to get it where it should be. Keep the HD springs, and go lower.

Whichever way you go, it looks good, Paul.

I may go that route, but I would love to get the trailing arm kit so I'm on the fence about spending any real money on the rear suspension. The springs I have I got with a rolling chassis which I stripped for my K5 project so they are freebies in a sense. The front is kinda the same, if I do the trailing arm kit I will throw bags in it all around instead of springs...

I'm also not swapping spindles since I have a 2.5" drop Western Chassis ones, but I could take out about 1/4-1/2 a coil to get that other .5". But again, why do that if eventually I'll be on bags anyways????
