Do you have a build thread on your Hoe?
Any pics?

why wouldnt you just get new springs instead of adding some to the old ones? the new springs are only 250$ or around there

thats what im going to do just get new ones and swap em out

lessee.... $250 vs dissasembling the pack and slipping in springs that cost me $0...... HMMM... tough call....

and, as a bonus.... I actually increased my capacity by more than a bit (let's not get into the 3/4 ton vs 1/2 ton debate, ok?) I can now safely haul up to 20 4x8x1/2" sheets of sheetrock, without bottoming out. Before, I'd be on the bumpstops at 15 sheets, no suspension travel. Hell, carrying 300-400 lbs of tools in the back makes the ride soooooo smooth now....
