S10 leafs for rear stretch

Has anybody used a full s10 leaf pack in place of their current to stretch the rear 2-3"? How much lift did it give as well?

About to put a tru hi9 and 37s and would like to push it back a bit. If these won't give me what I want want I guess I'll be using the +2 perches from ruffstuff

Just use xj leafs and move your mounting points back I have a ranger main leaf in my buddies xj for a 3" stretch and the leafs are just crap way to soft with with u bolt eliminators from TNT as well as they allow a bit of stretch

I have a f150 main and s10 for the rest. It's a long soft pack.

Have done this with MJ leafs and Bronco leafs.

I just swapped in some S10 Blazer springs (4 leaf) 2 weeks ago. Coming from bastard Durango/RE packs they gave me more wheelbase and more lift. Keep in mind I am running custom boomerang shackles I had originally made for the Durango springs since they were longer and shackles hit the rear bumper, but it measures 8 5/8" to top of axle tube, ~10" to center, ~24 1/2" from center pin to front eye at ride height if that helps.

Quick pic for reference, the rear is cut past the pinch welds and re-plated. Sorry for the quality, its getting dark:

Mine are also cut past the pinch welds, the 8 5/8" measurement is that from frame rail to top of axle tube?

How much do your tires rub? Looks like you only have a couple of inch's of travel

Yes, sorry should have said that. Measured from the bottom of the rail to top of axle tube.

Yeah the back of the wheelwell/rear bumper end eats the tire pretty good right now. Going to redrill the main leaf 1.5-2" forward to center the axle where it was before with the durango main leafs. Then I should be back where I was with compression although not as much droop as the durangos had, but they were odd shaped mains and didn't hold up at all.
