You got a picture of your leaf packs and the order you used? I actually bought an s10 pack and a ZR2 pack when i was doing mine, but decided against using the ZR2 pack because of the offset of the eye on one end. Looked like the end of the leaf wouldnt end right under the eyes of my main leaf.

That's awesome! How do you like them spring clamps? Do they slide down to the u bolts or limit the flex?
It's ride like an truck but not rough. Those spring clamps don't really allow for flex as much as I would like. The s-10 had riveted style clap built Into the pack. I should have kept those on there and just modified them. Hind site is 20/20 though. Right now the front is sitting at 5 inch s of lift. If have my 31inch spare. 100lb of tools and 2 Dana 30 and a Dana 44 it rides level.
Future plan is to lower it to about 5 inches the plan is to get some Durango springs and mix and match the 3 packs together. May be a shackle relocation bracket. So the boomerang shackle clears better.
So future lift wll be .5 spring Perch + 1.5 shackle relocation + 3 inch spring
This will give the lift I want with a realitivly flat Leaf pack which will be better flexing.
