Doing 57\" swap tomorrow-one thing

I know some of you are tossing in chevy springs from your 52" packs. Which ones are you using, where? Just wondering so tomorrow after I drive it and happens to be too soft I can look here and know which ones to go after.

The 4 leaf F-150's are too soft for the rear of a Blazer. So, I usually mix in some "add-a-leaves" that I make from the old Chevy pack. With a chop saw you can cut them down to size. I'd try to add at least 2 more leaves if it doesn't lift you too high....

Here's some sizes I typically cut to:
total length - length in front of hole/length behind hole

30" - 13" / 17"
24" - 10" / 14"
16" - 6" / 10"

Make sure and add some spring clamps to keep the leaves from "fanning".

Hope this helps....

Do you find the 4 leaf + overload also too soft?
