Know of several others with them who abuse their trucks with no issues either. I think if the springs are worn out, or you put a big block in a truck with 2 leaf front springs instead of 3leaf (81-87 trucks) you may have a problem. But that’s worn out suspension not slave placement problems
How much suspension lift is on those trucks? I mocked up a passenger-side slave on the truck in my signature, and decided I didn't want to take the chance.
