Re: 4x4
The original leafs on my '72 were so negative I had less than an inch of travel to the bump stops and I swear they never hit. Shocks were shot, too. That thing rode like a moosh bucket, tipped and dipped all around. Could be wrong travel on shocks. Could be he isn't used to how a solid beam/leaf front axle rides. But I guess you've driven it. Try taking the shocks off and driving it, or unbolt one end to measure/observe travel. I see there are two full length leafs under the main leaf. Kinda foggy on this, is that factory or is it normally just one? I think the rear of my '72 K2500 had 5 leafs.
Yes there is a way to gain a softer ride. Swap to 52" (rear) springs
