good job
Nicely done reb. Good legwork. Thank you for the useful post. I too would like a set of these to keep in my "Oh **** Kit". You never know when these will come in handy. Did James clean you out or do you have another set available?

4.88?
The math says that the axle gears are around 4.88 but I am interested to see what your jack up and rotate test shows.

cross member
Not to get into your business but you may want to think about adding a cross member between the spring hangars. The frame will flex and possibly crack over time.

Looks great
Looks great so far. I am looking for a Freightliner set up to put under a 5 ton I am bobbing.
Caveman had some +5" springs made for his bobbers. Most any commercial spring company can make springs for you. STAY AWAY FROM NATIONAL SPRING IN CA. They make good springs but their...
Single Point Faulure
Single Point Failure... this is what our current brake system contains. Serviced or not it is still one failure away from becoming a 14K missile that the issued parking brake will not phase.
