Global multi leaf rear spring, anybody know spring design?

[D Fresh]

I do not know the height differences , but if you order the Raptor ones from Tasca parts, they do not have them in stock, they have the best price, but you have to wait.

This is the update I got;

Thank you for shopping with us! One or more items from your recent order (Order 1669942) has required special ordering but should be ready to ship to you soon.

Thanks for the heads up. Was just about to purchase from them. I'll look around for some in stock and circle back if I can't find any.

Update, the Raptor bump stops are on the way, just got a tracking number from Tasca, so they got them in stock quickly or they drop shipped them.

Ohh, I hadn't found any yet. Thanks. Ordering some now.

Just want to say thanks again Mike, for sharing these.

I often reach the point of analysis paralysis on big, to me, purchases. The rear was holding me up on my "build." I didn't want to mix manufacturers, Icon had no fronts available and would've been pricey. OME looks alright for the price but it's not height adjustable and when you consider they use ancient dual tube shock technology they're quite overpriced.

I was trying to score some Tremor springs, even asked to buy yours I think, but it wasn't happening.

Your experience and those that followed told me to do it, and I'm so glad I did.

Lift is done, except for bumpstops. And tires are enroute, if the tire shop is to be believed.

Thanks to your nudge I'll be off the shit Hankooks before the first snow this year.



P.S. Service writer at the dealership looked at me crazy when I told him the springs were from the UK after he asked about my lift during my alignment today.

I hope I'm as happy as you are. Mine should be here tomorrow!

I'm glad, I searched for weeks and when I pulled the trigger on them I was nervous, worried about a scam, you know if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, plus I couldn't believe the shipping, I thought I would get a second bill for $$? from the carrier.
But once I got them and installed them, I thought these are damn good for the price, so I posted them up here thinking that they just might catch on, I figured that compared to the single leaf they are a no brainer, and they are cheaper than the aftermarket options.
I hope everybody's experience with them is a positive one!!

While I'm very happy with the results I'm also happy to have it done. I've spent a lot of my downtime the last few months researching, and deciding on, a suspension setup. Pretty much done now, time to move onto other things.

If you're looking for a slightly softer spring that's more progressive, flexes better, and pairs nicely with an aftermarket shock you'll be thrilled.

As underdampened as the FX package is, I can only assume these springs would pair better with the FX package shocks than the factory single leaf.

once again you guys have me ready to spend my money!

I mean, they're a Ford factory part shipped from the UK for literally half the price of either of the 2 aftermarket options.

Unless you've got access to Tremor take offs they're kind of a no brainer.

This was my thought process too. It's pretty much the only way I was getting rid of the stock leafs.

I was in the same boat as you D Fresh, researching different suspension systems, looking at all the available leaf spring setups. I couldn’t debate If I wanted to spend more on rear shocks or leaf springs. Do I get King rear shocks or icon leafs, haha. So many options. Also kinda pricey if you ask me.

I’m glad I stumbled upon Mikes post about these springs! I too am glad I pulled the trigger. Money well spent!

Ok. Stupid question.

Do I need to move the ubolt cradle from the stock springs onto the UK spring pack?

As far as my brother-in-law and I figured, nope.

C02Ranger, I installed them on mine. Figured it keeps the u-bolt in place. Some say it’s not needed after torquing down the bolts but its a factory part so why not use it. Also that’s the bump stop contact pad.

I gave it a shot, couldn't get the nut back on with them on. ?

I'll see how it does. I'll keep the pieces just in case.

Thanks for the replies!
