I'm trying to undo the PO's BB. So I'm looking at the Rancho 1.5" leaf springs. I've also looked at Crown HD and Dorman springs. I like that the Rancho's second leaf is as long as the main leaf. I'm thinking that might help prevent future sagging. I'm interested to know how the ride and flex is and also if they hold up. I don't want/need to go higher then 2", and the options for a full leaf pack are limited.
Thanks in advance for any help/opinions.

 

for the rear I'd like to be 2" lift also... 3"+ lift the world is yours...from what I read shackle/blocks should be avoided (if at all possible) with that in mind, 1-3" lift very limited on full sets of leafs. everyone raves doorman 929-301 lifts 1-2 but its really a stock leaf and will settle to stock shortly after install - thats out, seems crown hd gets you 1" so you'll need a shackle to get you where you wanna be or live with 1" lift but I heard they go flat within a year, rancho rs44148 gets you right there at 1.5 - but any good? OME again everyone raves but their 2" was discontinued and they'll give you a set that lifts rear like 3-5" until you bastardize by removing leafs thru trial & error - no interest in that... how hard can this be? seems only viable option is crown with 1-2" adjustable shackle in case it goes flat in future (move it to 2) or rancho with .5 shackle -- which is better - ANYONE?

 

Here's where mine ended up.

 

For under $500 you can get the Rustys 3" full leaf/coil lift that includes shocks and new hardware, his leaf, coils are very good quality. Had mine on for 5 yrs. and very little sag even with carrying a heavy load in cargo area all the time,


For the 3" lift you will need an adj. track bar the rest can be added later if desired like I did with mine.

 

You just remove one leaf from ome for about 2 inches? Takes about 5 minutes. Don't be scared haha jk

 

That is the Rancho springs? Looks like it is right at 1.5-2 inches which is what I am looking for also. How do they ride?

 

Yep, these are the Rancho springs and I'm right at 2". They ride great. Very happy with them so far.

 

Nice! I am just about ready to pull the trigger on a set myself, glad to hear they ride good.

 

old post i know but how are these holding up and what size tire are on there?

 

They're holding up great!! Very happy still. The tires are 30x9.50r15

 

Good to hear. Are you using the stock shackle?

 

Yep.

 

nice. How does it ride compared to stock?

 

Much better. But, I also put OME springs in the front and Zone shocks all the way around.

 

Which OME did you put on the front?
