Hey BigKid could you give me some more details on installing graphite between the leafs? Where did you get the graphite? How did you install it? Do I have to remove the leafs or can I just jack up the rear to put in the graphite?

Anyway I would appreciate the info.

thanks! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

yes you do, unless you replaced the springs with air bags. without them your rear suspension wouldn't move.

I was thinking lowering shackle, not factory shackle. Thanks for the informative post. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />
