Global multi leaf rear spring, anybody know spring design?

Mine had the bushings in them. The rears were kinda different. They just have the rubber, no metal sleeve. The shackle bolt gets thick an acts as the sleeve.

I believe our exist bushings will work, one of my spring's bushings are completely missing. My packaging was trashed, so I suspect they fell out. I may look into seeing what options (different materials) are out there to replace them.

That's how mine showed up. The box was destroyed and one spring has half a bushing so I'm sure they just fell out.

Mine too. I was also missing one of the spring alignment pads. Looked all over trying to find a replacement to no avail. Finally emailed the spring supplier and they sent me a replacement. Good customer service, lousy shipping department. I also just purchased 2 OME bushing kits.

Last time ebay stopped international shipping to the US, you can't ship something that heavy across town, much less across the ocean for that cheap, I'm glad the deal is back.

Great factory spring for a great price, mine was missing bushings as well, just use the bushings from your springs.

Poly bushings allow for easier & increased articulation in a lot of cases.

I received an email from eBay for these SuperPro Polyurethane bushings shortly after I ordered my leaf springs last week.

1hr 50min and the springs are done. Reused the factory bushings nice and simple.

Got mine done. Only had time for a short drive but seems much better. Especially on larger hits and dips. Original springs would launch the rear of the truck up after a big compression even with the Eibach shocks. Much more controlled now. Gained maybe 1/2" that I figure will go away once broken in. Cut the factory bump stops above the plastic ring to shorten them.

Drove around a bit hit the speed bump on the turn in to my street and wow this thing rides like a Cadillac. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. Just waiting for my raptor bump stops to get here, but I don't do a lot of articulating out chasing birds so not too worried about that part.


Put some more miles on it running around town and I've come to realize the change in rear height eliminated the driveshaft launch shudder truck is incredibly smooth now, dare I say it. The way it should have been from day 1.?

My experience exactly.

There's this bit on my daily drive with a dip followed by a bump making a little mini whoop section. It displayed the weakness of the stock suspension and it's undersamped shocks very well. After my Fox and ROW spring pack install it was a vast improvement.

The truck should've come this way.

I took out the bottom leaf, I drove it both ways, I think it was a softer ride and I wanted to lower it the 1/2 inch as well, it's like double overload leafs and I dont carry heavy loads.

I dont know about anybody else but my truck did not settle down much after the Global springs.

I'm glad you guys like them, I was happy enough with them to spread the word here, hoping others could get in on the deal, because they are a deal!!

I just received mine 8 days after ordering! Both are marked with a +. I guess I will measure to see which one is taller since they are both the same.

 

[Superspirit]

Both of mine were marked with a+ yet I measured one to stand an 1/8" higher I installed it on the drivers side along with the factory spacer. Sits level side to side.

Have any of you with the Global springs installed poly bushings vs the ones that came with the springs? I purchased the OME kits and find the forward bushing is loose in the spring opening ( approx .2in different). The stock bushings I removed were rusty and packed with dirt in the gap between the bushings. Curious if you also had the loose fit. I'm concerned about wear with a loose fit.

 

[Fitzmotor]

I used the stock bushings, the global springs were basically new, so the front bushing was tight, I used my rear bushings though as some were missing.

I like Poly, but hate poly, the famous squeak that eventually sets in, but if yours is loose Poly may be the only easy option, do you think a new stock bushing would be tight? or do those springs take a different bushing?
