The 56" front springs are hung!

Now I got 2 sets of 56" for my Jimmy one got 7 blades and one got 5 blades. How many leaves should I have in front/rear? My Jimmy has a 6.2D so its heavy in front.

Per
 
question for dpi

saw your thread on the 56s and the rockwells and i was wondering how much clearance you had between the oil pan and the top of the rockwell box ? i was thinking on doing the same thing but the clearance issue scares me :laugh: got anymore pics ? id love to see it !!
 
Plans changed. I could not get the ride height low enough with the leaf springs. The springs were interfering with the hydraulic ram. I had atleast 4" of clearence above the top of the rockwell and the crossmember. It was not an issue. Those springs provided way too much lift for my taste even mix and matching and removing leaves....
 
Here's some more pics.
