On the other hand, I think all the choices should air on the side of safety and compliance, not what you feel like or wanna do. I am one of those who legally upgraded my truck for a proper conversion and know what it was and what it went to based on the components on a side by side comparisons. One of the requirements is that I must keep all the documentation for the work done (springs, hardware, wheels and tires) unless I get a new pillar label (it's called "recertification"). Since I only did this for my personal use, it is legal. If I want to resell the truck and advertise the new numbers, or if I want to tow at the new weights commercially then a recertification is required.

Know what works and what doesn't work and lawyers starve. My lawyer friends remind me all the time that if people knew what they were doing, they'd be poor and no one would wanna be a lawyer. I am a firm believer that an accident due to ignorance or carelessness is NOT an accident.
