leaf spring removeable

[Mikes87max]

Well I notice that the rear of my MM sits way to high in the rear I'm just wondering if I mono leaf it would that help level things out. Its not like I can use my truck as a truck anyway so I'm not really worried about payload

I'd use blocks instead, but that's just me...

You can pull the middle leaf for an alright drop. Blocks also will work and won't soften the ride like pulling a leaf will. Factory normally the rear is 2in higher than the front.

I've 3in blocks in the back and the front 2in drop spindles with cut springs

[LethalEthan]

If you already have the blocks then id pull a leaf vs. going with bigger blocks. Do you still have the brake valve on the rear axle? If so you'll probably need to remove it or cut a hole in the bed for it.

[Mikes87max]

Bed floor what bed floor LOL that's been cut out I do have monster c notches I just hate the way It looks with the rear still high in the air

I was sketched out about lowering blocks (don't want the truck to ride on stilts, basically). I found these no-names lowering leafs on eBay and they work well, the only issue was the width of the front and rear eyes are about 1/4" too narrow but if you make some rubber shim/spacers, they fit snug. Also, you have to knock out the sleeve on the rear eye because the inner diameter is too narrow. Everything else fits. Need longer u-bolts, too.

It's as advertised, about a 3" drop, rides good, looks good, nothing too extreme. The springs have no bend to them in an unloaded bed.

Remember to adjust the spring loaded proportioning valve after lowering the rear or else the front/rear brake bias will be screwed up.

Hmm, those look just like the lowered S10 leaf springs that I have. I wonder how S10 springs compare to Mightymax / Ram 50. If they are similar, I would love to throw the lowered leaf springs in, instead of blocks. I really have nothing against blocks, but lowered springs done properly is appealing.

[noahwins]

I'd bet $1 they're the same springs.

[4g63mightymax]

Well, I will measure them and report back. It would be a win for the mightymax community if S10 crap bolts on.

[Mikes87max]

Well I do know with little mod dime spindleswill fit a mm

[92laserturbo]

Jeremy, did you ever go out and measure those s10 leaf springs and compare them to the mighty max stuff??

[4g63mightymax]

Wow - I sure didn't. I'm terrible. I still have the springs, but I no longer have my truck for comparison!

[92laserturbo]

well im in the middle of planning phase 2 of my truck, and im trying to settle on suspension. i will post tomorrow what the leaf springs of the mighty max are if you would be so kind as to measure those s10 springs?!

I cant believe you actually sold the truck!! do you miss it yet? i sold the 4g out of mine yesterday and im swapping it in a fwd talon for a kid.... lame i know, but its growing an extra set of cylinders and another 350 cubic inches.
