You have to move your rear shackle mount back to use MJ springs. Also the canter pin is five inches further back. Using MJ springs are an easy way to stretch your wheelbase.

Mj springs are much thicker because they are meant to carry a load in the bed. They are a lot harder to find in one piece because of the age too! If yours are worn just go to a jy to grab a set or two.

im working on the three inch s10 b pack right now. i will let u know what i come up with. so far i had to fab up some shackles that would correct the angle on the shackle. im using the s10 pack minus the main leaf, and put my main leaf in place. i will see tomorrow what it makes. hoping for three inches

well, got a little over three inches out of it. probably about three and a quarter. i like the way it handles. its nice and firm and controlled, but not really stiff. it worked great for me, just get the four leaf packs and put your main leaf in place of the s10 main.
