Global multi leaf rear spring, anybody know spring design?

[Langwilliams]

I just looked on eBay don't even see them listed, unless there on the UK site only not sure how to get on that, do you have a link? also I'm looking up info for the Icon springs as an alternative, thanks.

Here's the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115252014635

For a while it said seller offers international shipping. I checked an the price for 2 springs shipped was close to $600. Might as well go with ICON OR OME. The the shipping description was changed to "no shipping to USA" on the springs.

New here but I've been looking at upgrading my rear leafs. I did see that the original Ebay seller had 6 leaf springs listed again. Now 4 as I bought 2. I made an offer and have a set coming with shipping for under $300. Here is a link to ebay:

Thanks for doing the homework for me! I just read through this long thread and was wondering if these were still available. I just purchased two. With the $$ conversion, it was $331.45

Here's the U bolt kit I bought. Another member pointed me in this direction an they worked for me.

Why not the Eibach rears? I've heard good things about them.

I'm not a big fan of mixing and match suspension components. Which is why I picked up the global springs. I've got my Fox 2.0 kit waiting. Would've gone Icon level with their rear springs but their levels were unavailable. Considered Fox with OME or Icon springs but didn't want mix and match. Almost had a set of Tremor takeoffs but that fell though. So I decided to try the global springs. Now I'll get my 2" or so up front and 1/2" in back, retaining a slight rake for actual truck usage.

Gonna call this my Ford/Fox lift in the hopes of pushing @Frenchy 's buttons.

If I were you I'd install the Eibach rears making yours a Ford/Eibach lift.

Hey, so getting ready to order these wildtrak springs and want to make sure I have everything in order.
So far I’ve got the 2nd gen Raptor Bump Stops, 7 3/4 inch I bolts from rough country, and the leafs themselves. Anything else I’m missing? Grease, upgraded bushing,?
Appreciate it.

Bushings should transfer over from your factory leafs if not included. Liberal amounts of grease will be good, I skimped a bit and have developed a little squeak.

The only other thing I would suggest is shocks. Might as well do them while you're under there.

Wow, they are back, great spring for the price, if they are the same as the ones I got originally they are the same installed height as the Tremor springs.

I did removed the bottom overload leaf from them though.

Appreciate it. Do they retain the factory ride height? I’m hoping to keep it relatively close, at some point in the future I may swap front coil overs so I could use those to raise the front a bit if I had to but overall hoping to keep stock ride height since I commute 70 miles a day.

If they are the same springs that ebay seller had previously, they will have a ride height of a Tremor, somewhere about 3/4 higher than a standard Ranger spring.

I gained about ⅝" from my factory single leafs. Perfect match to my 2" front lift for me.

Ok, yeah I’m debating on whether it would look dumb to keep the front at what it is now while adding the springs. Wondering if that will be too much rake. I also wondering if the tremor rides 3/4 inch higher in the back of the front came slightly raised factory or if the tremors actually have a bit more rake over the other versions.

Tremors also sit higher in the front. Their rake is roughly the same as a non Tremor. Just higher front and rear.

I wouldn't install the global or Tremor springs as delivered on an FX-4 or 4x4 without addressing the front. Unless I had a large constant load in the bed.

Yeah that’s what I figured. Thanks.

Ordered a set of springs and the u bolt kit. Now need to find a link to the bump stops.

Life would be a lot cheaper if I'd get myself banned from this place??
