Im gonna go with Alcan since they do their leafs completely custom based on the specs you send. Deaver and national seem to be more "play" leafs and I'm looking for a stiffer pack for towing and stuff.
just wish they were closer... shipping on these is half the price quote...

Pricy but I'm sure it's worth it. I was thinking of putting 250 leafs on my truck. Not sure if it will work but the dimensions are about the same.

Yeah they quoted me $700 so im gonna hold off for a bit and make sure i really wanna commit to that...
Are the leafs from 04-08 the same as 09+? You could get the stock hd le pack I have now?

I'm pretty sure they are but not 100%. What's the difference between the regular leafs and hd leafs?

well its been A LONG time time since Ive updated this thread, or done anything to my truck for that matter!
thanks to this piece or work.... Ive had my hands full lately, not to mention funding is now very tight having two trucks on my budget. The cummins is thankfully a large investment of time and not cash haha
its a '91 and so far its been an awesome piece of work!

I did however buy two 7in LED bars for the ecoboost because Tough Light was having a HUGE sale and I couldn't resist. I haven't decided on what to do with them yet, but they're going on the truck somewhere! I was thinking of using one as a back up light but they're a little big for that now that i have them. So we'll have to see... I'll probably just put them under the light bar with the Hellas if it doesn't look too busy.

No, the 1st gen is a 2wd. I couldn't cover the price of a 4wd, and they all seem to be in way worse shape than the 2wd trucks.
Sure would look a lot cooler with a solid front axle though!

Nope... Thats the one i REALLY wish was 4wd. Again, just a lack of funds, but looking back on it i really should have waited and gotten one with 4wd.
As you can tell its a bit of a sore spot hahaha
