Bobbed Bed Leaf Swap Ideas??
Hey everyone. I got an 84 Extended Cab that I bought from a guy a little over a year ago. Been working out some little bugs and now its suspension time! Ive been wanting to do a suspension lift lately, but want to do a flexy spring in the rear. My problem is the owner before me bobbed the bed 10" and cut the frame off right after the rear perches. Ive been considering the F150 springs, but I would want to install them the other way (180 degrees) since I have no way of mounting perches further back, but then I'm worried about pinion angle and shackles sticking out past my bed.
Was curious on how other people with bobs tackled this situation. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

You could call up Alcan Spring and have them build you up a custom spring pack. They can make stock length with any load capacity and lift you want. Best to weigh the back end of the truck to give them a starting point.
