I would have to agree, thats why I got rid of them, after upgrading and fixing my front driveshaft 3 times and breaking it again (I ended up with 12" of slip in the end and then still broke the CV), I got rid of the gol darn leaf springs!
Then I broke the entire back of the truck 
. Although I give you credit Eric, you and my friend Jer both said to make the back have more travel than the front, I tried to get away without doing that and it cost me. I think you even said, "you can get some crazy rearend dancing". You know the outcome. But I give you props for never saying, "I told you so"!

Just wait till next time we see each other Heath
Tried clocking the winch last night to no avail. I can see how you can do it on an XRC8 and XRc12, but on the 10 it doesn't seem to have the ability to rotate. I called smittybuilt to see if It is even possible.
But I'm not putting it below the frame rails as it would hurt my approach angle worse than being on top of the rails. I am doing feet forward though.

Jess, I would consider moving those bumps up from the spring plates if you have the shock travel...My timbrens in the rear are about an inch off the spring plates after the springs have settled in now, and although not harsh, I can feel them bottoming out on the dunes. I will need to move them up a couple inches at least, and maybe reposition my shock mounts in the rear...the fronts are spectacular, never once did I feel a harsh landing going over the top.
I have the shock travel, just I do not have the uptravel due to exhaust, and other things in the way.
And I figured out how to clock the winch. I was just stupid last night.
Winch mount is almost done. Clocked the winch. Took all but 2 seconds, just didn't realize that the 2 cross bars are the only thing holding the winch together.
Just need to drill some mounting holes in the frame, and add side gussets and that will be done.

Got the front driveshaft installed last night, I might have clocked the 205 a little too high, as I am going to have to clearance the yokes at the tcase to allow more down travel. Looks like its going to bind at about 5" of droop. Also finished the winch mount. This weekend I have alot of houses to look at but I hope to sneak in sometime to re route the front brake lines, install the rear bumps rerun some melted wire etc.
Picking these up on monday while im in grand haven
Good thing cuz one of my front shocks doesn't rebound at all.

4wd works
Climbed the logs with ease. Gotta move the bumps down, and try to clearance the header to my fron drive shaft will not rub.
Needless to say Doubler is awesomeness!!! Front digs are awesome as well!!!
I need to figure out a new reservoir for the power steering pump as it pushes the excess fluid off the top, and when it does that it doesn't have enough fluid and the pump starts wining. Anyone that is running the stock hydroboost pump, and reservoir?
And oil is leaking from the top of my distributor, where the cap meets. I'm guessing there is a seal missing or something.
