Spring packs
Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2002 7:42 pm
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.
