I am currently running 52" Chevy rear springs up front and 56" Chevy's on the rear. I have some major anti raps front and rear, it flexes like crazy. Still have a little axle wrap in the rear and will eventually switch it up for a four link front and rear.

I promise I am not just being 'that guy' but... why?

I have only ever owned 1 rig with leaf springs and I didn't care for it. Apart from being cheap are there any good reasons to run them?

I am really asking not just making fun of you.

thir cheap and already thir

i know pirate is all about bling and 4 links ori's and so on

i cant afford links ends dom and coils ect at this time

my mog axles have been sitting for 3 years now , i need to put them to use even tho it is not the best way but they would get used.

so my idea is to put them under my wifes s10 blazer and just run them
with the h1 37's

I know the feeling. My mogs were sitting in the yard taunting me for 4 years. My leaf spring plans for the front quickly changed for clearance. I ended up streching the front 12". But I still have chevy spring in the rear.

Ok... that makes way more sense.

I misunderstood, the title of the thread had me thinking you had a complete unimog which you were going to retrofit with leaf springs.

Hence my question.
