going to bob my 5ton, have some questions

[DeuceNewb]

first off, rear springs. Can 105 trailer springs be used? I've got one I can use if it will take the weight.
if not, next choice would be deuce front springs in the hope that they wouldn't be as stiff and ride better than 5 ton front springs.
Also, I've heard people talk about rotating the brake cans to clear the springs, can somebody better explain that to me or provide a picture?

as far as the bed I plan on cutting it down and re using the stock one

No,you need front 5 ton springs,I have bobbed quite a few 5 tons,on the 939 series.You can loosen the brake cans and turn them a little,and repipe a couple of the air lines.

As far as 5 ton spring being a requirement, would that depend on what you plan on hauling in the bed?

I won't be hauling other than a few people, and might tow my boat every now and then, it weighs 10,700 with a tongue weight near 1k. might also tow a car trailer with a 2k tongue load
