    Found these.

    http://www.amazon.com/Fabtech-FTS275.../dp/B000CMIW2O

    This is one front spring pack from their 5.5" kit. I'm assuming this is very similar to what you had. Did your truck ride pretty smooth with those leafs on it? I've called deaver before to ask about custom springs and they have a huge lead time and cost quite a bit more than off the shelf stuff.

    their springs are worth it fabtech(deaver). it did ride better than any lifted truck ive road in but not as good as stock. they are rated for a heavy bumper so with out it I think mine was a lot closer to 6"= to tall for 35s. why not spend money on some front fenders, bow the rears and leave it the way it is height wise to fit bigger tires. pretty sure ive seen 35's maybe 37's on a truck stock height wit aftermarket fenders.

    when you say "Mini Pack" its more like a couple pieces of 3/8" strap cut in staggered lengths. So its actually just a block and a longer center pin.


    Just Saying.

    It's actually 1/2" but how is that different from a mini pack? A block doesn't have a center pin through it and isn't tied into the leaf pack. It is by definition a mini pack so go **** yourself.

    I have and clear 37" toyos. Clearance is not the issue. I don't want a 6" lift but I want to do something to fix my rough riding truck.

    Yeah, they are still around. 500 for front springs isn't bad but I'm not buying the whole kit only to have some white body shocks that I'll end up throwing away.

    u would need to use more than just the spings, the shocks would be the only thing u would not need. none of this will make a 3/4 ton truck ride good!!! i would think the negative arch parabolic factory springs would be a good as it gets unless you go with a custom spring with a lower spring rate and less carrying capacity. even then with the truck at stock ride height they only have like 3" of bump travel. that combined with a custom low rate leaf pack would have u smashing on the bumps all the time.

    I think I'm going to get the rear set up first and do some more research on front setups.
