Scored a 612... pretty weak, IMO...

What kind of rear springs should I look into? I am in the process of gathering parts to go spring over (been wanting to do that for awhile now).

I think the stock 2wd rear packs w/ the calmini AALs are a bit too stiff, and don't give me as much rear wheel travel as I'd like...

Anyway, here's the one pic that of me that someone got.

That front is flexing just fine. concentrate on longer and/or softer rears.

Monster flex is nice to have but not always needed. If you got one wheel on the ground with no weight on said wheel how much is flex helping you? Your truck looks good on the rti ramp.

I've got the same problem. My front flexes well but the rear is stiff. I'm going to remove/swap leafs and see what happens.

Same goes if you have lockers, if you don’t have much weight on the wheel your still not going anywhere.
