Looking for a leaf that is a bit stronger and a bit longer on the rear end as long as front stays near stock. I want to try to stay away from bastard packs and I need good flex still. I have a large shackle I need to get rid of and I have about a 4 inch lift. I also have shackle relocation kit so I have wiggle room for shackle angles Please let me know what you used and maybe a picture.

He said he already has a 4" lift...I read this to mean he wanted to leave the front as-is (not necessarily stock but...) and wanted to get rid of his lift shackle and replace with lift springs...

I think he wants the front half of his leaf to remain the stock langth, so his axle location will not change and wants the rear half of his leaf longer to help with shackle angle.
Then again, maybe I'm wrong.
