Front springs with 6bt
 
Question for anyone running a 6bt on leaf springs
What are you guys using?
Here is a pic of my current spring pack, which I think is causing some drive ability problems.

I am thinking of getting a set of 1900 lb 4 leaf springs in stock height from here

Unless anyone has a better suggestion, also thinking about maybe something with 2.5 inches of lift, I don't want to go 4 inch because it's a dually and I do haul some heavy loads with it. I also run a old school Fisher 8 foot plow on it.
Thanks

I'm guessing those were stock two leaf springs that had leaves added to them? I've used the heavy 4 leaf springs from husky and they never got to Dr-arched like those. I've also used the 2.5" rough country lift springs and they were fine as well. Those lighter load rated front springs just don't support the weight. They sure can make them bounce. Haha

I ordered a set of 4 leaf 1900 lb springs from General, hopefully they will work better than the mess I have now.
