Re: 3" lowering leaf springs 52"

I bolted them on my frame for mockup and they were dead on three inch drop... no sag at all. When I was looking for them I couldn't find a set for less than $399 plus shipping! The U-bolts cost me $45 too!

Re: 3" lowering leaf springs 52"

there is surface rust where they mated with other metal surfaces. It will wire wheel or sand clean. I was going to strip them and Por-15 them. Bushings look good. They have been sitting on my floor for a little while. U bolts are mint zinc colored.

Re: 3" lowering leaf springs 52"

ttt... would like to see them get used... would consider trade + shipping costs for the springs in exchange for a 6al box, 4 core radiator, inner sport bumper brackets, 12 bolt girdled diff cover, something cool... could work something out!

Re: 3" lowering leaf springs 52"

Let me think about them for awhile. Thanks for the quote . Do you know what brand they are? They look different than the ones I bought from Sporttruck direct.

Re: 3" lowering leaf springs 52"

I'm not sure what brand they are. They seem nicely made and beefy. Don't think they reduce the load capacity of a half ton at all.

Re: 3" lowering leaf springs 52"

When you test fit them , was it on a complete truck or just a frame ?

Re: 3" lowering leaf springs 52"

The truck was complete minus the bed when I first installed them. I did that when I mocked up my new 12 bolt axle. I then took the whole truck apart and used them to line up everything to install my trailing arm setup. I never drove with them on.
