They pulled 2 leaves from the middle. cut them down to the size of a spacer and reloaded the leaves. Something about adding flex to the package, but not putting all the weight on the long springs. Don't want to break a spring.

I didn't do anything to the hood yet, but i did add a wind deflector to the top of the cab. I cut down a roof on a class 8 International and fabricated new brackets. The funny thing is most people use them for fuel mileage (I did add .9mpg), but I wanted to smooth out the box from shaking on the highway. It did tremendously, but another side effect was a smoother box is a quieter box.
