Hey guys I was wondering which of you guy have pulled a leaf spring out to help the suspension? Which one did you pull out? My truck spins bad and was wanting to make the suspension work a little more. I pulled a leaf in one of my old trucks about ten years ago and can't remember which one I pulled.

If you want it so flex more dump the overload leaf. If you don't have a over load the one that sits on the main leaf will make it move a good bit more.

Just street tires for now. 3:73 gears.

Get rid of the street tires and drop the overload. You got a traction aid and some type of a traction bar?

No traction device yet. Was thinking about a set of daggers. I drive this truck a couple days a week so it does see a good amount of street use, which is why it has the street tires on it. Was going to move up to some drag radials if I don't end up wearing them out in a month.
