pics of springs
Picture 1 is the overloads, short one is stock and the long one is a tapered full size Chevy Truck
Picture 2 is the end of the spring leaf showing how it compares to the stock spring length and the cut on the end. this one is 24" long
Picture 3 is the leaf set in the pack and it will be receiving another 18" long leaf. The rear spring will have a total of 5 leaves with no overload.

You didn't crank your torsion bars or anything?? From the pic,it looks like you have good clearance in the front.
I guess I'll get a set of 235/75s then and go from there.
Now,the next question is 31x10.5 Not gonna work are they?

ok,well I just went out and bought some 235/75/15 A/T's today. $104 each. They'll be in and installed by Thursday,and I'll have them on my truck by the end of the week. We'll see how that goes. I can't wait!

Have you ever seen a B2200 say 4x4...  I always thought it was a B2600i4x
that 4x4 emblem came off of a Jeep (or so I was told), and was put on, because the previous owner thought it looked cool...
I removed them, because I thought they looked stupid.

Only thing I did was add air-shocks to the rear. Since I added the bigger wheels, she always rode a little higher.

Hahaha nice! I just picked up some Jeep emblems so I could throw them on my truck on Saturdays to get in to "4X4 Only" areas that my truck could eat.
Hehe maybe I'm not the only loony!

Well,here's how she sits right now at stock height on stock wheels. By the end of the week she'll be sitting on some chrome Pathfinders with the 235s.
....and yeah,I only paid $500 for this thing. All it needs is new brakes because it's been sitting for 6 months and a complete exhaust. This thing is a trooper! Has over 330 000km on it too!

Yeah,I'm gonna clean it up a little,try and fix some of the rust. It's a solid truck. Frame and cab are rock solid,but the insides of the bed are all rotten. Engine bay is in good shape,and the interior is mint.
