warpath , I think my main problem is I would like to build a truck my wife can drive !
I am probably a little too sensitive when it comes to handeling but I hate to leave anything on the table and I like to make things as good as they can be !

I am thinking about taking some arch out of the front springs ?
My other thought is to add some type of pull spring that would allow me to adj my front ride height with spring tension ( I am thinking torsion in a layout like a sway bar )
I have done this on race cars before but not a truck !

My other thought is to eliminate the axel travel front to rear by floating both ends of the leaf springs and adding very long leading arms or trailing ??
It can be addressed in the steering linkage but I would not trust that type of set up on such a heavy unit ! any opinions ?? thanks t
