Can you tell me some more about your research into the "Deaver 11 pack rear leafs " you list as a future refinement.
I have always thought it would be better to beef up the rear springs, instead of airbags, to increase the weight carrying capacity of these trucks.
Many Thanks

I like the mars rover comparison
I've actually had the Deavers in my garage for a few months now, but have been hesitant to install them. From what I understand they will stiffen the ride but lower the payload capacity. The load carrying defecit is apprently due to the lack of an overload spring, however they are stiffer / more response (more axle flex) in general.
I'm holding off because I really like where my truck sits and rides as it is now.
I would think others on here could weigh in with better info for what you are looking for, i'm a real novice with this stuff.
