The rear end is a 9" with 3.25:1 & posi. This is not a race truck but I would like to get it to hook up as well as possible.
With a full fuel load it is 3140 lbs (no driver) front is 1695 lbs rear is 1445 lbs...
Where is a good place to start with rear springs?
You weigh about 300 lbs. more overall than an I.M.C.A mod including a 200 lbs. driver.
I would look at some of the heavier springs that an I.M.C.A. mod would use.
