how long will it take for the rear springs to break in and get more droop. because i have rustys 6.5 leaf springs and they are prety stiff and dont flex very well right now i was wondering if they just needed to break in then they will flex better or what also if that is the case how long does it usually take thanks
 
mine bent into a 's' shape before they would flex.

Sounds dangerous. You might bounce pretty bad at higher speeds with no shocks to stop it.
 
thats actually exactly what i did for about 2 weeks. i didnt hit the highway with them. if you had to do a high speed manouver youd be fawked. especially if you run no swaybars like i do. it did seem to help break them in though.
 
Remove shocks.

Stand on tippie toes on rear bumper.

Jump. Land.

Repeat 20 sets at 50 reps per set.
