the only thing about this john is the location of where his springs will be. The frame is arched right there, not to mention that is right where the frame is riveted together. I dont know if that will matter, but it is something at least worth mentioning.could always mount them under the frame....like Kyle's.....

Thanks guys, I'll try not to go down in a ball of fireditto!
Mine didn't squat that much, but then again i haven't taken the overload off yet. I wish there was some way i could help ya buddy

Josh, that's somewhat what I'm afraid of, I plan on pulling the overloads, but I can't see how that's going to make them flatten out too much. The frame on this truck isn't rivited together so I can do what I need to do with the spring placement (I thought it was only the newer trucks that were like that )the only thing about this john is the location of where his springs will be. The frame is arched right there, not to mention that is right where the frame is riveted together. I dont know if that will matter, but it is something at least worth mentioning.
this isnt a bad idea.... i think i dont really know i know ive never seen it done. and it sounds like gwaii would try it. haha but even with the overloads in i bet itd flex real good due to the extra leverageJust spitballin' here... why not box the frame and run 'em on the inside of the frame rails?
i have seen this done with toyotas on pirate and dont see why it wouldnt work hereALSO, just thought of it... to get a little less lift out of an inboarded spring, draw from the Explorer's setup. Why not box the section of frame where the shackle will go, drill it out with a hole saw, sleeve it and use a leaf spring bushing through the frame and make your own shackle? Again, just spitballin'...
1" NHL lift (just enough to help clear the doubler... when I get there).are you running a body lift?
Can't say that I'm really one for body lifts (or much lift at all for that matter, I'm trying to run 4" worth of suspension). But the cross member idea is worth looking into depending on how that lines up.because if you do a 3" body lift i think you could run some 2x4 square tubing along the top of the frame like a cross member and do the rear body mounts the way the b2 guys when they throw the ranger cabs on the b2 frames. and then thatd fix the body mount being in the way
