i like the feel with overloads in. but no overload lets it sqaut more. on the street the rear tires need some weight on them and this helps. but at the track with a prepped surface it doesnt matter.

Removing weight from the spring pack = reduced unsprung weight = reduced 60 ft.

This is why mono-leaf is used with Cal-Tracs for drag racing.

That is true but really don't matter.

No overload let's the truck throw weight back on the tires. I was dead hooking a truck leaving on a 175 and stacking more up top.

Go to your local spring shop and ask for them. They look like this usually.
