Depends on where you want the bars to try and lift your truck. Id use the bottom hole.
Don't tell Pat that!... You will ruin my reputation!!! LOL
Using the adjustment philosiphy I described there and learned from from my buddy, I have been cutting some pretty good and consistant 60's for a 6900 lb. truck. Still takes some small tweaking though. The most accurate way to do it is actually to have someone under the vehicle adjusting them while under footbrake load. But that is pretty dangerous!!:rofl:
Here is a 1.53 sixty and I pull consistant low to mid 1.50's

They are installed along with a few leafs removed. As far as settings, we will do at the track tomorrow night.

I was thinking about the rounds you two have went while I was posting it. I don't have time to look but I do remember something being posted to the effect of you only being on the forums to talk smack. Not for any real tech.
Got mine on as well.....Man the oe metal sleeves didn't wanna come out, ended up having to cut mine out. Damn IL Salt welded them in place.
Wow!!
Greg must have smoked the lights to get a 60' that good!!!:roflmao:LOL Hello Greg how have you been?:hug: Jeff

how many leafs did you take out? i was thinking about removing my helper spring to see if i can cut better 60's and to lower the rear another 1''. i have 2'' drop shackles...but its still a little higher than my front with the T-bars slammed.
Keeping sone rake,will help you with your launch in 4wd. But it really isn't going to hurt being completly level.leave all but 2 leafs in.

so take the helper +1 out?
EDIT: how will that effect ride comfort? i keep the caltracs pretty tight because i cant stand the clickity clack noises that they make. so the rear feels pretty tight. if i take the 2 springs out, do you think it will loosen that up?

i know this is an old thread but when you take the overload spring out and additional leaves out do you use the old center bolt in the spring.
You'll have to get some washers that fit inside the spring for more then 1 I think. They are either 8 or 10mm, thinking 10. That's to be precise, but I've seen people just use a fender washer which doesn't locate the spring bolt as well but "works fine"
So on a manual truck I dump the clutch off the line
I would just do the half turn of static preload? Be like releasing a brake?
