84 pickup chevy spring lift

I got an 84 pickup that is currently stock. I was thinking of doing a chevy spring swap and run RUF. Wasn't going to do the double shackle set up because from what I've heard there are some problems.

Wanted to hear your experiences with this swap. Any tips and overall happiness with the setup.

My buddy runs RUF and he's gonna throw on TACO rears with a mix of some leafs out of a chevy 63 pack

His setup puts his rig about same height as mine. I got Trail-Gear 3" leafs upfront.

Bothsetups flex awesome! We're S.A. Swaps tho. So got the front hangar goin and High Steer.
