Re: Rear suspension

yep, thats why I suggested using the S10 or ford ranger leaves and hangers earlier in the thread. it is a wholesale change though so not using the stock hangers etc. and some engineering would need to be done to ensure the axle center line stays where it needs to be. the newer springs also have rubber bushings which absorb shock as well as sound. leaves are also longer most likely, like ziegel says. if doing that the springs could be placed inboard more to allow more back spacing on the wheels and fatter tires. like said though, this could mean having to tub the box. not sure of the owners build vision.
