quick, someone chop some dirt and rocks into the first 38 pictures!!

nice, did the spring break from hoppage or flexing? nice lookin rig!! your cameraman needs a safer place to stand lol
 
So would that be a snapped top leaf in the pack, and the truck is held up by the rest of the leaves pushing on the back end of that main one? :eek:

The spring brokefrom having no antiwrap bar "bent the sh!t out of my old one" and doing full trottle clutch drops trying to climb that wall. Need to now wash the truck replace the rear springs, build a new antiwrap bar and a heavyduty transmisson crossmember.:doah:And yes the camera man needs to learn to not get his shadow in the way.

Yep:eek1::doah: Still had to drive it home 20 miles too. lol
 
Is that rust I see on the broken spring end? It looks like the spring has been cracked for quite some time and finally gave up.
 
pretty sweet flex man. what springs you going to run now? stock 56's again?

Plan on running the stock 56"s again, but with the first 2 leaves clamped together and a good anti wrap bar. But also have been thinking of getting my friend to link the rear and run coil springs until I can afford coil overs.
