you need to figure out the weight of the rear axle alone and the weight of the entire truck on the rear axle . 10 bolts weigh around 350 with everything.
on my truck i am going to use a 250-275 lb spring. mine weighs 5500 lb race weight 2200 on the rear

negative i have all the shocks in place but the link is not even close , i have all the brackets from laser cutting but i need to get the pig running and that is first . rebuilding to a 436 to be even stronger this go to eventually change the turbos . i am making some jigs off the manifolds to make them with other options , t4 flanges and better location of wg merge from the collectors. this way i can keep the down pipes and charge pipes yet upgrade to gt37/40's eventually but for now im going to do minor mods to the mani's keep the 35's with billet wheels and aim for 9's
