I didn't read the whole thing but if you use a stock spring pack waggy or otherwise, it's alot easyier to swap them out when they go bad rather than having to make up a whole nother set from junkyard parts.

Fender? What fender?? :haha: Although the fenders are going back on... With the old suspension and 42's there was about 6" of fender left above the tire.... There will be a lot less this time. :rendeck:

I found that on Pirate and thats what is making me think just go and pull what I can find and build a pack.
I need this build to be close to street legal, otherwise it would start to look like yours.

Absolutely, building a pack is the way I have always done it. I have yet to find an affordable aftermarket spring pack that suites my needs and wants.
I used to runranger/broncoII rears in the back of my rig. I swapped them out for 52" chevies beings I'm inboarded out back they work great. Whats funny is you can swap a set of springs out of a full size rig that rides like a brick into a mini and they are butter soft... Goofy crap I tell ya. :wtf:Oh and if you go with ranger springs grab a second set or some that are long enough to make a second leaf out or. The second leaf is about 6" from the rear end of the springs and if you don't put a leaf in there that goes to teh eye you WILL bend a main. Yes I've been down that road... Also check out typical mid/late 60-early 70's nova/caddy eldorado/camaro etc rear springs. I can't remember the length off the top of my head but they kicked ASS in the back of a buddies truck...
