Leaf Spring Help

By the way cool truck.

Thanks!

You dont need a super stiff spring if you can run a rear sway bar to increase some roll stiffness.

It has a rear sway bar already, but it's only 5/8". I did upgrade it to urethane bushings though.

Like Falcon65 mentioned, you can get a spring that is thicker on the front side or a shifted forward spring pack to prevent spring wrap and axle hop.

I would say the axle centerline is located about 60/40 toward the front of the spring pack.

I had thought about engineering a pinion snubber setup. It would be pretty easy to add a x-member with a pad to the frame. The 8.8 already has holes in it I could use for snubber mounting. Didn't know if it was something anyone was typically using in this application.
