Bumpstops are on. Think that settles the suspension work for the Ranger for now.

Anyone order a pair of these recently? I'm trying to order a pair from the linked ebay shop and we can't get it to accept a USA address. The seller said US sales have dropped off and he didn't know why till now.

I've been thinking about getting a set looks like I may have waited too long. I wanted to see if the ride improved with new tires. Fuel prices may have made shipping more expensive.

Hopefully not too late. I just found these!

That's a bummer. Totally changed my truck for a very reasonable price.

It's the shipping that killed it I bet, the seller and the rest of us who bought them knew you can't ship big heavy stuff across the ocean for $28, but somehow ebay let it go through until now I guess.
The only next option would be in a shipping container, but that is all screwed up now.
Maybe a group buy and expect to wait a long time for them to show on a slow boat that has to wait months to get unloaded.

It really looks like the deal got away.
How many guys here ended up buying them?

That's a real shame, a true budget upgrade that really works well.

This is why I jumped on them as soon as I decided. I was worried about them pulling it.

I actually thought the shipping was BS, I contacted the seller to confirm it was legit, or I expected to get hit with a additional shipping charge.

I searched for quite a while looking at the various global springs, most of the time the shipping was more than the spring, sometimes double.

So when I found these I was skeptical, but thought it was worth the gamble, and it really was.

I does not surprise me that ebay shut it down, my springs were delivered in 7-10 days, from the airport in a van where they were the only thing being delivered, easy a couple of hundred in shipping.

Glad I’ve got in early.Getting ready to do my installation in the next 2 weeks.Is there any negative effect of leaving the bottom leaf out ? I am not really wanting to raise the rear any as I am looking to keep about 1.5in rake.If the I raise the rear my tires will look small and I will wanna go to a 285.I tow and don’t want to take away from my towing ability.

I have left the bottom/5th leaf out, no problems, the 4th leaf is very similar to the Tremor 4th leaf but a little longer, doubt it would bend down enough to need the 5th leaf, only towards the upper limit of load carrying I would think.

Man that’s too bad they are not sending them here. It seemed to good to be true, I guess until someone caught on what they were being shipped for. I’m glad a good handful of us got to get them. Should of came like this from the factory.
