Excellent.  Do you know where Bill gets his parabolics?  I was thinking
about getting mine from wise owl?

Peter-

2 leaf up front and 4 in the back.  I wish I would have gone just 3  
in the back.  I had visions of loading it down and driving it on  
trips a lot.  I did take it on an 8,000 mile trip to Baja and the  
extra payload capacity was nice, but over kill.  Normal day to day  
running is stiff with 4.  I need to pull one out.

I bought mine from Bill at Great Basin Rovers and installed new  
oversized bushes.  Works well.
