I dont have any pics right now but my buddy has a truck set up with this in my back yard right now. not that hard to do, but I'm not sure its worth the effort, you get plenty of flex with a chevy set up properly and the extra spring tends to let the rear end go wherever it wants in the rocks. If you do decide to do it make sure you drill or cut holed in the spring woth a torch and bole them through the frame. ubolts tend to let the spring move side to side even more. hope that helps.

I did it. Worked OK, but I wouldn't do it again. If the drop spring is too soft, you'll get a lot of axle wrap, unloading and handling quirks. If the spring is stiff enough to controll all that, then it won't give much extra flex.

I went with the controll. No quirks, but it only dropped a couple inches. I never really felt that it helped. Just one more thing that might go wrong.

I ran this setup on my fourrunner. Here in alaska we dont have the rocks like you guys do so I didnt run into the axle wrap problem. Only ran this setup for six months due to the fact someone stole my runner.... :evil:

Going to run a similar setup on my 86 fourrunner I'm building now.
