Let me know how it rides, I'm thinking of doing the same thing, and may just go with the 1/2 ton shocks in a dual configuration. I figure some soft 1/2 ton shocks ran dual with my added unsprung weight of the quadrasteer axle and the softer springs may give me a comfortable and hopefully controlled ride. My brains workin' overtime.

Made some phone calls, did some comparisons in the shop....the half tons will bolt up front to rear, but length is a bit of a concern.

I cant see that bing as much of a concern with that. We compared an 03 3/4 to an 01 half @ work. I couldnt tell you though if the distance between the mounting points is different between the two. They were up on a lift, and I never honestly thought to check that

So will 3/4 springs bolt to the 1/2 ton? might be a better answer for tail drop when towing the jeep then add a leafs
