Does any body have experience with 63" springs in the rear? I have searched and I havent gotten a clear answer. I plan on using the truck as a weekend rig that can go to and from the trails/desert for camping trips and such. Right now it has 63's in it and it is WAYYYYY to bouncy to be safe. I would like to leave them and maybe add a leaf or two in addition to a zero rate to relocate the axle to the center from the shackle flip.
