Hope you don't carry good weight in the bed. You won't have an overload to take the stress off the other leafs and possible make the leafs bend too much where they could snap.

for the record, I wasn't hating on you, just offering a difference in opinion is all..
as for drifting setups.. we don't have much in the way of aftermarket support and
we have serious body roll issues.. your mod mite just firm things up in the corners..

salt lick FTW!

Just a thought...Because the topic has changed!!!!! and in light of you placing the overload on top of the mounted leaf spring, "Perhaps," you should start a new thread? I never reccomended and do not reccomend placing the overload on top of the leaf spring....

Cool bro... As I said I wasnt familiar at all with placing the overload on top of the mounted leaf spring. A questions not asked, is ignorance itself...
  • Just want you to be safe...with yourself and the other drivers around you.
As I said there is lots of cool knowledgeable people on this site.
