4" Leaf Springs needed other than Alcan - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

47thriftmaster · 04-30-2013, 03:02 AM

Hello all,
Here is the story, I tried to order some springs from Alcan. Filled out their form, let them know that due to my location at the moment I could not call them and would need to do it by email. I got an email with a quote and was asked to call. I emailed back explaining I can't call and would like to order now so they would arrive about the same time I do. I wrote a long note on how the truck will be used and what will be in it. Well I never heard back, emailed again still no reply. So as much as I would have liked their springs, I'm going with someone else. Is there another company comparable to Alcan, that makes a 4" lift spring for our Blazers? Been looking but most seem to go with Skyjacker, which I don't mind, but I will have a heavy engine in the front and want something built to handle that and still drive good. Any help is much appreciated.

Off Road Design. Stephen engineers the spring pack, then sources the build out to Alcan. But, all of the customer service side of it is thru Stephen and ORD.

Emailed them, they can do it for $500 or $600 more, comes to $1500 to $1700 for a set of four. Just a little to rich for my blood.

Was about to check this route out when Alcan returned my email, good timing I guess one day past my patience, anyway 4" lift springs ordered and should be there shortly after I get back. So I will finally be able to get back on my build. Thanks again
