Anyone try the Pedders Leaf Springs?

[Scooterdog]

I noticed these while doing an internet search. Not sure if this is a new part, an old part, or a rebranded part. Not much info on the Pedders site. Anyone familiar with these??

Interesting, it gives you an inch lift (oh gee, that design flaw freakish bed rake will really be an issue - lol, my bed step won't be low enough!).

I do like the write up and friction aspect of this set. Would also love to know if they fit on US Rangers.

You can see how wrong my bed rake is:

I went with icon springs, love them

FYI… I emailed Pedders to inquire about these springs.

They told me,

“They will provide a slightly firmer more controlled ride in the rear as compared to the US standard Ranger increase load carrying capacity. Unfortunately, we have not tested these against Tremor/Wildtrack Springs so we cannot make a direct comparison.”

I was hoping for a softer ride, so I guess these are out. Back to looking for Tremor/Wildtrak springs!

They look nearly identical in every way to Wildtrak springs, but looks are just looks.

Icon springs are 40% softer in the first 30% of travel or the other way around, they also have an add on spring to give them 650lbs additional carrying capacity. Number one setting is identical to stock load range with the softness. Increase ride hieght about 1/2 inch.. they are a stack of 6 leafs. my wife loves them and the firestone destination le3, she now reframes from calling my ranger an abortion machine.

Assuming you have a tremor I suspect these springs will do just fine. Will you get a little lift? Possibly but it will probably be a little more than 1 inch. I say this because the global Ranger leaf swap is about .75 inch lift from the US Ranger leafs(tremor not counted). If you already have the Ford Fox shocks thanks to the Tremor package then you might want to consider getting a different set of rear Fox shocks as the Tremor shocks might not like the extra lift.

The ride on the other hand may be just fine BTW

my icons never settled out to the 3/8”.
they always sat 1.5” higher than stock on option 1. that’s why i took them off.

Throw a couble loads of mulch in back will do the trick, plus i have eichbach 2.0 adjustable coilovers up front...
