    spring under conversion?

    I have a 2001 silverado with a camburg 6.5 kit in the front with f87 deavers in the back and 5100 bilstein shocks all around. I wanted to know what are the benefits if any of doing a spring under conversion on my truck or just any truck for that matter. Thanx for all of your input and help.

    the main benefits are lots of wheel travel with a low ride height and less axle wrap and wheel hop.
