    wondering if yall with the 97-03 trucks could help me out. yall know i have a 7700. one of the things that everyone talks about with these trucks is that they have an extra leaf in the rear, i dont think i believe this, i think maybe the leafs are at a sharper curve, that possible? they are bent at a different degree?

    if yall could give me some measurements of your rear height from the center of the hub to the middle of the wheel well molding. also id like a leaf count. state whether you have towing package. dont forget to subtract if you have a body lift.

    i got a measurement of 23" without body lift and i have 4 total springs. give me a hand guys!

    actually 4x4 wouldnt really play a role in what leaf count is. my bad.
