Now a thread that I can actually help with. Are you running leaf springs all the way around. Spring over or under? Do you want to stretch some for a longer wheel base. If you are wanting it for a rock crawler, you want to keep a low center of gravity. For best flex, go spring over.
When I had a jeep yj, the best junk yard combination for flex and durability. I took factory springs mixed with top leaf from an XJ or s10. XJ with stretch rear another 4 inches and flex is awesome. Rancho 4044s on the front will stretch it up front 2" with good flex.

I'm real happy with my Wildhorses leaf springs for rockcrawling. I have the 3-1/2" lift 11 pack springs.

Thanks for the info, its a 74 bronco I am currently using stock spring with blocks but I want to switch to just leafs only.
I was hoping to get some info on the alcan springs.

My brother runs some 4" lift custom Alcan springs on his Toyota...they somehow flex really well, and yet still maintain a relatively harsh ride. I'm not really sure how they achieved it to be honest. The thing handles like it's on rails with almost no body roll though, so for a multi-purpose rig that gets driven on road more often than off, they've done pretty well. Alcan offers custom springs, or at least they used to, so you can have them tailor the springs to your application.

GM 63's, no doubt. Not a bolt-in, may not even fit, but they are the best crawler leaf spring that I've ever seen.

I've run a lot of alcan springs and always been REALLY happy with them for leaf springs.

Is this a crawler only or will it also see the street?

 

[tankhunter]

It will see some street time also.
