Are you using RR1 (rear) and RR4 (Front) rovertym springs?

those are great springs, and yes, peter is using those. i have the RR4 and RR3, although i DID order the RR1 for the rear. the RR3s flex a little better, and honestly i'm been happy with them not sagging under the loads i put in.
if you're going to put a lot of weight in the rear, and want a firmer ride, go with the RR1. if you want a little more flex, slightly softer ride, and don't ened to carry a lot of weight get the RR3.
i may need spacers after i put on a rear bumper this weekend though...

Alright, last weekend I made definite headway on the drawers. I forgot to take the camera so no pics, sorry. It's going to stand just under 19" in height and weighs a TON!! I'm actually kind of worried about how heavy it is because it will stay in the truck once i finish it. I'm guessing it weighs near 100lbs. but can't be certain. What do you guys think, will there be noticeable sag? I have heavy duty rear springs from Rovertym(RR1's) but still have concerns about the amount of dead weight. Let me know what you think,

Alright, Well i finished the majority of the construction with the box. I have the box itself built, one completed drawer, and one drawer in need of a face board. I have yet to start construction on the pull out table because I'm having a hard time finding the right sized hing, and a surface that will be able to deal with the heat of the stove and spills. In short, I ran out of wood and don't have time until the weekend. I spent the better part of yesterday evening sanding down the edges of everything and creating a good paintable surface. I'll post pics tonight sometime.
