Good info, thanks. If you could post a few links for those builds, that would be awesome. I'm planning on doing leaf springs in the back too. I have an 84 2wd half ton that I might steel the leafs out of. Depending on what my ride height is compared to the front, I may take the two downward facing hangers off both of my parts trucks and do a shackle flip for the rear leafs in order to get the height I need to match the front.
