i used 2-1/2"x2-1/2"x1/4"wall spring pad/perch, i have 6" front springs and i added a 1" zero rate to the spring pack. i also used the 1" zero rate to move the axle forward 1-1/2" that mad the biggest difference for the rockwell/oil pan clearance issues. the rear springs are stock chevy 1/2 ton springs with an add a leaf, with the same spring pad/perches on the axle with a traction lift thats 2-1/2" deep also.Ten_Bucks said:How much lift and what springs are you running to make those Rockwells work without having to lift it to the moon?

Ten_Bucks said:OK, thanks for the info. I know alot of people on here were wondering the same thing since Rockwells are a pretty popular discussion. Do you have any close up pics of the suspension at all?
