I see references to this on EF. Anyone know the details?

i think it has to do with an increased spring rate for heavier loads, and the ability to flex more? I know you dont use the whole leaf pack (too long) but like the shorter springs...i could be completely wrong though lol

On a similar note, does anyone know the exact difference in wheelbase that can be achieved by flipping the leaf springs (i.e. the front of the leaf spring to the rear, rear to front)?

You'd be better of flipping the axle over it.

Flip the axle over - leafs mounted on top = more clearance.

Sweet, take measurements. :)

You're goig to try to squeeze 38.5's on there, correct? That's the number that I am shooting for, so I can't wait to see how yours turns out. :)

My current wheelbase is 113". If I'm measuring right I'll have a 116.5" wheelbase after the spring reversal.

Cool, so 3.5" difference. I'll be looking forward to your confirmation after trying it out. :D
