mine drives great! if you did a flip kit then it does not matter. all the helper leaf does is support a heavy load if no load it does nothing but add weight to the truck. does not change how it rides!

thanks for posting the pics Garrett. they are Western Chassis control arms, not DJM.

I use my truck as a truck so the overload is staying, i'll be adding helper bags as well for towing. i'm going to try to find some different shackles to level it out though, i thought i saw some 3" lowering shackles somewhere, that would level it out
