on my 85 3/4 ton, Im think about getting a 8" skyjacker lift kit and takeing a leaf out of the springs so it will flex better. Anyone running skyjacker springs? I want to run 38x15.5 and I want to be abke to clkear them. What spring/tire combo are you running?

it will still hit inner fender on the front when stuffed, even with 8" and 2" body I would occasionally grab the inner fender with 38.5/16/16.5

I have the springs your talking about for the same application 8" skyjacker softrides with one leaf removed, they flex very well and ride great. I haven't noticed any droop in 8 months, which everyone said would happen. I'm running 38x12.5 and I have room to spare, but keep in mind that I also have cut out flares and they're on my 92 with a SAS so I can't speak to wheather they're gonna rub on your truck. I'd buy Skyjacker again.
