Spring packs

Post by SaNTa »

Just ripped out the spring packs on the back of fj45. There was 10, count them, 10 industrial sized leaves on those suckers. I am running 3 inch extended shakles and was wondering if you guys have got any opinions on how many I should pop out.

At present I have removed 5 (3 being real thick bastards) and am left with 5. The reason I stopped here is because leaving it there retains the last clip giving stability to the pack.

Now the truck carries no loads on the back. The most it will carry is the relevant camping gear but apart from that not much. Should I stick with 5 or should I get rid of another one or 2 and just hammer the springs back into alignment if/when they start coming out of alignment?

Bear in mind I am running 35's, lockers and a fresh 308 v8.

Try five and see how it goes, if you take out to many you may have a problem with axle wrap!

Ok I got 5 in each pack now. Looks pretty thin so I will have to see if it gets any rap problems....
