Hey Grim,

I see that you have your tire carrier on the Driver side.. How do you keep the rear springs from sagging? Mine is leaning to the driversside.. I was thinking of going with National springs for the rear, but they are costly!

I am running stock spring on the rear with a shackle flip. If you notice my carrier is also much tighter to the body (infact its my tailgate) and as such has less leverage on the body. It's also only a 32 so it weighs less. I am also carefull to load evenly and on the passenger side (in side the truck) is my chain box that easily weighs as much as that spare.
Now Depdog I belive has his on the driveside and I have not noticed any unusual lean on his truck. perhaps one spring is loosing it's arch faster on your truck for some reason.

Yes mine is on the drivers side as well, and also mine is very tight up against the body, I even have mine angled to go up against the window tight. I too load my rig to try an distribute the weight evenly, I keep my toolbox and high lift on the passenger side inside the bed.

your tire goes up against the window??? doesn't that rattle against the window while off roading? I would be concerned that the window would get broken.

Nah, it does not touch the window, it is at the same angle as the window so that I can get it as close to the tail gate as possible.
