Lucky 8 4.5" D2 springs

I dont have them but that is one heck of a lift. I'd hate to see what else is required to be changed out to accomodate that.
i have rte 4" springs with 1.5" spacers. eventually i will be putting the 5" coils with 12" shocks, but needed to get some more "critical" parts first. with anything over a true 3" lift you HAVE to have front and rear arms, and the rte watts links or justin's 4 link rear. then you will want to get an adjustable panhard.
Yup, my truck is not stock. I mean, it doesn't have too much of anything stock. The D2 arms both front and rear are long gone. The front is a 3 link and the rear has been modified. I just need some real world input from people running the springs. Justin, do have any feedback?seventyfive said:

Hey Frank, are they actually that big, have they settled, how much weight do you carry in the rear, I'm running OME medium duty right now( with loads of trimming) and they were great, soft and flexible, but they have sagged big time. I run RTE RRC 2" up front and they're working but my problem still is that with a lift this small and all the trimming I'm still shoving my front tires hard into my footwell area. I don't want to run RTE springs... so just looking at other options.
The three link is what I talked to you about before. It's a modified S.G set up. It was easy, and I had several to copy at the shop/ I'll shoot one to you, check your PM later. Thanks for any help.
x4...just kidding
Here's some info:
They are the same height as the RTE 5" springs, but have a different spring rate. I like Justin's spring a little more than the RTE, I get less rebound with them.
I haven't had them long enough for them to settle and I don't carry a lot of weight, but the full roll cage adds maybe 80lbs and then maybe 100lbs for recovery shit, hi-lift, co2 tanks, beer... and the biggest thing other beer would be the spare, which is another 80lbs with the rim.
hope this help...
