Went to see how much articulation I have - umm, pretty much none in the rear. Ever since I took the heavy box on and replaced it with the aluminum deck I have no rear suspension - a fricking kidney buster. I still have an aux tank to install and a spare tire, but that won't make of a difference.

As it stands now the driver side shackle is straight up and down, and the pass side actually points towards the diff. So, the springs are fully arc'd as they sit - can't go up any more.

So, as I see it my options are - 1. remove a few leafs, 2. remove a few leafs and spring over (I don't like spring over). 3. Throw 600 pounds of weight on it. 4. Create a 4,5 or "A" link suspension with 80 series 3" lift coils.

Any thoughts?
