Swapped leaf springs and perches in my truck Saturday. I was expecting a little more lift than the blocks and stock springs but got 3-4" than I already had so the truck is sitting all raked right now. Going to get longer shackles to lower it, and it needs them anyway. The springs were super sketch to get into the truck. Had the frame ratchet strapped to the lift arms and was using a pole Jack to flatten the springs enough to install. I was just waiting for strap to break and my truck to go flying off the lift. Truck already rides better so that's a plus.
Old set up (looking at pics, my truck is rusty under there

Old vs new


Finally found a use for this flex head angle grinder I bought a while ago. Worked awesome

New set up

And the drag race set up
