Anyone heard of Triangle Spring Co. leaf springs?
Hello so I purchased a cherokee and found that the p.o. had new leaf spring and a 1" block put in about 25,000 miles ago. I looked at the brand and it was Triangle Spring Co. When I went to look up the company and part number to see if they were heavy duty springs I couldnt find anything on them. Im trying to figure out if they are HD so I know if I can run extended shackles or not.
Also im attaching photos. Does it look like its sagging? and is the shackle angle good?

thanks for the reply, Do you think the springs look flat because of the lift block?

No, i just think they have settled. Most likely not HD springs, oem replacements. I have a fatty lift block under my springs, and they sagged the same when i removed them. If you look in the vendor showcase, one of the vendors is having a huge sale on lift kits; getting one with an add-a-leaf setup should cure the issue. I believe the vendors screen name is AOA or AOR...something along those lines, but its a good deal on lifts. Or, you could be real cheap and try a bastard pack with some leafs out of a 2wd chevy blazer/s10...
