Re: 67-72 Single Leaf Rear 4x4 w/ a BAG??

I'll fill you in as I do this to my k20. I'm putting a later model leaf pack in and will pull a few leaves to get the rear to drop an inch or two from where I currently sit. The bags will be hooked up to a semi truck auto leveler with dump so that I can keep it at a normal ride height (1" above current location: 3" above dumped) with no worrying about adjusting for load. I need the dump feature to fit in my garage, as I currently rub my roof on the door seal and can't put on my set of 37s because of that.

I will also be running a Off Road Designs style traction bar to prevent bending leaves. Stock had 2 leaves and the Toro Flow that was in the truck bent those and I don't want that to happen with the new leaves and more powerful Cummins I currently run.
