Remind me of your spring rates on your short course link setup

I think is 200/350 but I gotta check the actual springs on the truck

Some shots from the last race we were at. Got first in class!
We had 4 trucks from our Southeast Pre-Runners crew out there! Hopefully have a few more in the coming events

Got some minimal upgrades, some top of the line whoops smoothing skyjackers and ebok leveling kit, some rear leaf springs off of a full size Chevy, 64-in. And a good old Lincoln locker for good measure

What year Chevy?

I really didn't have any money at the time. So I had to start my search at the local junk yards, got some kingpin i-beams from an Econoline van, on 49-in from that same van, fiberglass bedsides off of a newer Ford ranger, some sweet rims and tires, and a new roof

What year econoline for the beams?

What year econoline for the beams?

It was an 87 e250 Econoline. The beans are not equal length like the f100 beams. But they have bigger brakes and bearings. It had the 9in in the rear also. Widest production 9in

What year Chevy?

I can't remember the date range but it was from the 80's or early 90's.
If you use the main leaf from those trucks, you can get it from a junkyard or maybe even a replacement main leaf off of one of the off-road websites. And then find one of those old SUV style Jeeps. I think they're XJ or something. They have the same width leafs as the main leaf on the Chevy. But there are way thinner. And there's more of them. And so you can kind of mix match on with the ranger leaves and figure out what's going to give you the best ride height and everything like that.
When you put those leaves on you have to move the front leaf hanger forward. And highly recommend flipping the rear shackle

Yeah sounds like you got 63" chevy leafs that are 2-1/2" wide. I ran same leafs on my first toyota i build in high school. Added a bunch of random leafs I had to the mail leaf and it worked decent for the low cost of free I had into them.
