Yeah, i was going to say that setup must put hella strain on the main leaf when it bends to conform to the overload ontop

I hope you don't die either.

I ran mine for years with just the mono leaf and a secondary that I cut really short...never had a problem. Then I had another one that was just the mono leaf, it was an older truck and the spring just didn't like that much flex. It snapped at the spring eye and sent me into a concrete K-rail. Too much fun! These trucks are getting up in years and rust and high mileage are taking their tolls. Just be carefull.

I love the death stack! My favorite meal from IHOP!

The front bumpstops just unbolt from the frame horn and drop out. Mine rode harsh until i did that, now all is well unless I hit a big one! I've gotten pretty good at dodging though!

mmm death stack. Hold the overload please.

This is how NOT to lower your truck. Ever.

The sad part is that a reputable tire shop installed that entire contraption. We bought the truck like this. The bottom blocks wiggled all over the place causing the rear end to sway on the highway. It was scary.

HeY.. is that setup a 3inch block and the 2inch just laying in there... what about welding both offf them together and are the blocks aluminum???

don't stack blocks. don't weld blocks together. 'nuff said.
