Lmao. And yeah, Rusty is the only one I know of that still makes a 9" spring. Skyjacker used to make a 10" spring IIRC, but those are gonna be impossible to find. You could fab up a coil over design, then stack springs like some do on swamp buggies.

oh... I see... well forget my last comment or you could make some 4" spacers... my buddy runs 4" spacers for some odd reason...

but honestly... 11.5" of lift and you are not clearing 38s? have you trimmed the fenders? bumpstops?
