My mate had that combination on that SJ that joined here a while ago. The one that was blue and is now black...

Got super flex out of it! We could flex the truck by hand, to the point of tipping it over lol
With SPOA do you need to do anything other than the welding & brake lines?

My add a leaf was really really hard, but I've bashed it around enough to soften it up now :)
The added leafs will now pretty much bend to being flat.

Great find I'm trying to keep things as cheap a possible though. The guy I bought the SJ off is a mechanic so I might see if he can do the leaf over axel. Failing that a freind of mine is coming over from the USA might see if he can bring me the Calmini kit. Or there is always the shackle son fleabay for £25.

I got mine from l.a.supertrux.com they don't list them any more but it may be worth giving them a ring
