cut a single coil off the front springs, and in the rear get drop shackles and remove the overload leaf... thats it. the only thing youd pay for is the shackles. everything else you can do for free.

My god this reminded me of my friend the other day. I have a friend who has a little mazda 3200 or whatever the ranger copy is and my other friend who weighs about 270 was making the truck lean to one side goin down the road. It was hilarious. Like was said earlier though there is a lowered truck section on here now its up at the top.

thats why you need two so you have even weight dispersion, but one chick has to be uber fat to make up for your weight so its even.
