Has anyone used the JCWhitney replacement leaf springs? And have ya had them for a while to see how they hold up and if they will sag? Im thinking of going this route cuz even with an add-a-leaf my rear is still lower than front. And all I have plans for are a ball joint spacer in front down the road. So I dont want some 4" lift springs.

Thanks

get some real springs from Marlin or similar. Not sure on those springs but my guess would be they are cheap nockoffs. Marlin sells all different types of springs for whatever hight you want. Check em out!

Those look nice, but I dont know about the moving shackle back 2" and hanger forward 6" is more work than I want to do. I just want a stock type spring, or one with only 2" lift.

My buddy ran some procomp springs which are more like stock (AKA no spring hanger moving) They are OK (stiff at first) they will start to sag faster than like Marlins and similar but are decent and made by a reputable company.

If you lived closer I could help you with spring hangers so you could run the better ones.

Could always run a small block in the rear as much as I dont like them nor completly recomend them it seems you want to get the height back. Do you wheel this rig? cause if you do dont go with blocks! A small 1" or smaller would be ok to put in the rear. Best springs all around are Marlins, Allpro, and Trail gear. Maybe a buddy could weld in some new hangers for you. Plenty of people in the Cali area on here I bet could help you out! its not really that much work and worth it. Just my $.02

OME springs are stock length, supposed to lift 2" but seem to do more than that, at least at first. About $100/per spring they seem to be the best choice for what you want.

OME springs look good. As long as they dont make the rear too high.

do NOT go with the JC Whitney springs. they suck. Mine sagged the moment I put them on, just as bad as the 17 year old factory springs that were bent all kinds of ways.
