So these springs are very soft and I dont even have any weight in the rear and I was wondering if it would be better to run a block, full length RE 3.5 cherokee add a leaf, or a few springs from a stock cherokee pack. Its what I got to work with So any input or thoughts is what im looking for.. I have searched here and pirate and have not found much about this.. my pack is a 2wd 3 pack plus over load...
 
Cut down the overload so it's just a 8" long or so block then build a anti wrap bar with a shackle on the frame end and run'em as is.
 
Unless your truck is retarded low, you will need a 2 inch block.

You will be fine. You got the right springs. Do what WT said. cut the overload down. turn it sideways and cut it. grind it smooth and twist it back straight so ya dont need a shorter spring pin.
 
Yeah I was going to do that with the over load.. I have seen people put a half cut spring on the top of the pack for rears up front will this help my wheel hop and axle wrap in the rear as well? Yeah I am going to be retarded low when i get some weight back there I dont have any weight on the rig just throw weights, tool boxes, and some steel to get the weight in there like it will be loaded.. But I could always move the shackle hanger back a little I guess if needed as well.. Right now no load its about 45 with the 4runner top, factory roll bar, and crappy bumper, and when I get on it alone the thing drops about 1 1/2 inches and im 220lbs.
