Then I start thinking if Im cutting off leaf brackets I should just 4 link it and total just stall the project


dude ... i am VERY familiar with that rabbit hole ...

don't tempt me, i've thought about a 4-link and bags in the back of Hank a few times. great load capacity, good ride, could kneel the truck to load/unload the bed, i already have the lower links to combat spring torque wrap, i have to have an air bag over the leaf for load capacity anyways and i have a full air system to go in already ...

the only reason i don't is the upper links or panhard are hard to fit around the fuel tank/exhaust, and the reliability and simplicity of the leaf

damn you ... now i'm thinking about it again ... but i already have all the hangers n new leafs!
