Cool beans. I bought 4s for the front thinking I had 4s for the rear but I have 5s on the rear so I sit a bit low in the front. Didn't have time to return them before Battlefest.

Not sure if these would suit your needs, but at least they aren't chrome:

The 70 series mirrors are another option. The 70 mirror/60 door contours aren't an exact match, but they are bolt on. A gentleman in the 60 section makes gaskets/spacers if the gap bugs you.

I think they run about $120 each.

You can pull added leaf out of the rear packs and turn them into 4s if they are too stiff.
The rear 4s are pretty stout themselves. I'm not sure I've ever been able to load my rear 4s down enough to make them sag past level.
That's a good idea. Anyway to know which leaf to pull? I can take a pic tonight if that helps.
Take a pic and we'll compare.
It looks like it would be the third from the top from what I have read. Full length but not part of the eye wrap. Mediums would not have a full length third spring. I will know for sure when I get home.
Boy if I can swap that spring it will be awesome.
If not I will probably remove it anyway. I won't be carrying all that stuff in the back nor will a have a huge bumper.

Yeah, it's definitely the 3rd or 4th leaf that gets removed. Those should be the same leaf. I wonder if you could just throw it in the front pack, maybe cut it down if it's too long

Mine sits ass high but it rides great.
Go to Lowes get Grade 8 bolts with hex head long enough to replace the center pins.
Make sure you clamp the part of the pack you are not going to mess with together so it does not "explode" in you.

Mine doesn't ride too bad but if I can swap those springs to the front I would be super happy not having to buy the ARB add on leafs.
I would just go to the heavy duty truck place here in Conway and pick up some center pins. They are cool guys and they do great alignments.
Such a shame that BFG quit making the MT KM1. Best looking mud tire ever, no question. The 33x10.5 flavor gives every 60 (or cruiser for that matter) plus infinity street cred.
I'm going to see if these will last infinity
I've got a buddy that just bought a 62 with 33x10.5x15 KM1....they have about 60% tread and are in good shape. I hope he just parks it and looks at it so the tires never wear out.
I picked up some Baja T/A in that size and they ended up being at the end of their air holding life. I was sad.
