Global multi leaf rear spring, anybody know spring design?

These are the Raptor bump stops, you can also just shorten the stock Ranger stops.

@LevittownFordParts.com can probably help!

I offered gbp85 x2 for a pair. They accepted with shipping came out to $294. And change for a pair shipped.

I don't know how the FX4 springs are, the global ones are pretty soft, softer than the Tremor, if you can drive a Tremor and compare it to your truck, then if the Tremor is a improvement you would know the global spring is little softer, it's too bad you are not closer, it only takes less than a hour total to swap them, I'd give you these to try, if you liked them, I would have you buy a set to replace them, it's only $300 which is dirt cheap for basically brand new factory springs.

A few days ago I noticed there is a shim under the drivers side leaf spring. Did you include this shim when. Installing the global spring?

At first I didn't but I added it back in, as it's to correct the Ranger low on the left problem.

The height change is only about 1/2 inch, no alignment needed.

I was hoping someone knew the performance differences between a spring with long thinner leafs and a spring with short thicker leafs, I know Jeff at Deavers has insight into this, he made a custom 1.5 drop pack for my Raptor, he's just so busy I hate to bug him and he is also one of those people who look at me like I'm crazy for wanting to lower the back of a 4x4 truck.

I put 2” drop shackles on my ‘20 FX4 SCREW and it seemed to drive a little better-weight distribution shift? Looked better too.

I have leveled almost every 4x4 I have owned, I dont care for any rake, but now that I'm old I do to help me load my bike!

Where did you find "drop" shackles for a 5G ranger.

That has to be a F series, no such thing exists for a Ranger.

I didn't think so. Not enough space between the spring and frame for that much drop.

I can't hardly believe it, but my springs showed up today! I ordered them Last Friday around 5pm. One week shipping from the UK for $48? That's incredible. Hopefully I can get them installed this weekend.

Mine were delivered today, shipped on the 10th. Not bad $340.34 plus shipping and tax.

Got mine this evening also. Do the original bushings fit the rear or do I need to source new bushings? There is 1/2 a bushing in one spring and none in the other.

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.
