Default Re: Leaf spring suspension

I plan to just run a set of CalTrac's and that's it...have no intention of adding any longitundinal links or anything.

I'm just not sure if I want to use the factory triple leafs @ 130 pounds, go to a stiffer leaf spring, use coil-overs to add spring rate, remove a leaf and add in coil-overs....the only thing I know for sure is that I'll be putting an anti-roll on it using the same crossmember that I'll be welding in for the shock mounts.

Calculator I used - https://www.suspensionmaxx.com/tech-...ng-calculator/

On mine, I have
2.5" wide x 1 Leaf x 56" long x .25" thick = 19.38 lb/in
2.5" wide x 1 leaf x 45" long x .25" thick = 37.35 lb/in
2.5" wide x 1 leaf x 36" long x .25" thick = 72.96 lb/in

Total = 129.69 lb/in, or basically 130 lb/in
