She ain't real petite. Sorta full-figured as a matter of fact. 11k total with 59 hun'erd of it on the rear axle. The 6" ICON springs just ain't likin it and I'm just ridin' on my bags.
So today I done ordered me up a custom set of rear leaf springs from Alcan Spring outta Grand Junction, CO. Be done in 3 or 4 weeks he said. Front ICON springs seem to be doin' real well. So far.
Sure glad I ain't runnin' a stock drivetrain with that kinda weight ... but then again my crazy drivetrain adds to the weight. Time will tell how this is all gonna play out.

Clearances some body mount bolts so I can mount my AirDog even higher. Now to remake my skid for it, and start my dual jerry can mount, and then my bumper to mount it to, and then some harbor freight backup lights.guess I'll be busy with metal work until my wood gets here for my bed system
Nice weight balance especially with the rear tire and storage container back there. Mine's a lightweight too w/8650# total wet. Glad Aluminess helped out. I've visited the factory a couple of times.Got my junk weighed last week at a truck stop south of Vegas.
