Awsome, thanks for the info. I have a RC AAL right now. I have been dabbling into upgraded leafs for the future. Is it better to go that route or better to buy an aftermarket Pack? I have been looking around at a few sights and pricing them.

New pack would be the best, but it depends on your budget.
New packs will probably cost a minimum of $250 and go up from there...You could probably source used parts from craigslist or junkyards for less than $100 if you're a patient, thrifty shopper and are willing to get very dirty .....That would leave you with $150 or more to spend on other mods.
As for me, I'd rather brag about what I made than what I bought.

HTH!

the S10 leafs work great, i did this today and it turned out fab. i used S10 4X4 leafs from JY for 20$. i took out the over load (bottom heavy spring) and the next and added from the S10, the main with the eyes cut off and the second leaf to the main and second from the factory pack. worked out perfectly and wasn't too difficult. i did it without unbolting the main leaf from mine.
