The leaf springs on this truck are literally 2-3" thick in the amount of leaves stacked upon each other!
Sounds like a definite candidate for a lighter duty leaf pack @ this point. Helper bags can be added if needed for any occasional added payload needs.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
