Rear Leaf Swap! Or buy outright?

Postby mickphatmac » Tue Apr 28, 2020 2:55 pm

I’m looking to trade my current set up, Two, 4-4.5” skyjacker Soft Ride rear leaf springs in great shape (6 leaf) for either a 3 1/2 inch lift rear leaf set up or even a 2 1/2 inch rear lift leaf set up that I can put a block under to make it 3 1/2 inches.
Anyone interested? Mine sits just a smidge too tall for me in the back for my taste. 

***front coils are good, just looking for the leafs in the rear***

I’m also willing to just buy the rear leaf set up outright if you have an extra set lying around

How old are your springs? How many miles? Have they had a chance to sag?

Just hate to see you go thru all the effort to find the new setup too short.

Other option is to remove a smaller spring?

These are a few years old but came off a show rig that just sat, not many miles of wear and tear. I really like the way they ride, Just not the way they look on my Bronco!
I even debated getting larger front coils and then 33" tires but my wallet said Nope!!!

B.O.B. and I are gonna swap ;)
