Hey I know how the search button works !!!:flipoff2: to get that out of the way
my question is I am installing 52s in and I have the 7 leave leaf packs from a 75 3/4 ton and in all the post I see people will say they left the overload or romoved it ,I dont run a swaybar and wont! this is a daily driver though so whats your opinion on how many leaves I should run ? overloads or not ? I want the flex just would like some stability on the road
I am also putting 2'' longer shackles in the front (front-front ,front-rear)while moving the whole thing foward 2''(axel) total 4''
74 blazer
14bff 410 gears
dana44 front 410s
36x14.50x15
rear has shackle flip with 2'' blocks, total 6 1/2 ''

I have been running them in my K5 for awhile, it would be a PITA to drive it everyday with them, sometimes I think my mirrors are going to scrape the ground, but they are great on the trail and rocks. I want to say that mine only have 5 leaves with the overload, you might have a set of 56's, I know they come in 7 and 8 packs, I have a set I may be putting in the back.

these out of the truck mesure 51'' so you think I should run all 7 and try from there sounds like 5 is way to little for what I want to do

Granted mine is not a DD, but I am running 5 leaves 7.25" shackel and no overloadon mine with great luck so far. Needs some serious trail testing though.

So you guys are saying don't do the 52" swap up front for a DD?? Is it too much flex?
