Smike...

I should have springs for you shortly...
Went with option "B"


If you get a chance in the next day or so to check the gear ratio I would appreciate it....  Need to check baseline before I jump in the deep..

Springs should be in Wednesday... no rush on my end.. I know you have chassis work going on..
also getting new Ubolts...

Any luck with the gear ratio?  Still looking into rear axle options.
