Question for those with 52's up front

[Mr.Jimmy]

Im thinking about making the swap but concerned about driveability. How are they on the highway at 65? Do you suggest it for all around trucks or just hill billys?

I haven't actually put mine in yet but they are very soft and you will have lots of body lean on the road. If you are worried about on-road driveability than 52's probably aren't for you.

Thanks for the input 383, guess you are the only one with an opinion. What if I left the overload in the pack or maybe even run a dual shock setup where I can remove a shock when wheelin? Be sure to post pics when you are done with your swap.

I have them...and DD my truck...im going to 56s soon. As long as the shocks are valved stiff, you won't have a problem. I have no overload in the front, procomp es9000s and no shocks in the rear and have no problems driving it at 75 mph.

I did them on my 71 and love them. I used one leaf from my old 6 inch skyjacker fronts, and cut the overload so it is just a very small leaf. I did however decide right from the beginning to run a panhard rod. Steers great, handle better than before too. I don't have a swaybar and haven't found the body roll to be scary at all.

I run 56's front--stiff SAW's and can run about 65-70 on the freeway----it does lean but only on turns like on a street
