Level by lowering rear?

[SOHK_Alumni]

I took the re-arch path. Had a local spring shop add 3" of arch then flipped the axle over the springs.

All good for a year then both springs broke at casting flaws within a month of each other.

2nd try was to use softer rear springs and air springs to lift the back end to my desired height.

For me, a win/win. Better ride with the heigth I wanted.

Do you guys have some pics to share?

Best $135 I have spent on the truck (plus the cost of the extra springs $300) I used to grumble every time I looked at my truck, now it's perfect in my opinion, you will want to shorten the bump stop a little.

$300 - was that junk yard price or new?

Brand new basically, off a global Ranger, shipped from Britain.

Sadly, it seems the deal is gone though.

Yes, the ebay bean counters figured out we were getting big heavy stuff shipped from the UK for $28

ahh so these are global springs.
Looks like junkyard pricing for non-Tremor springs is 125 to 200ea, so $300 (I assume pair) is damn good.

WHAT!? That's insane, I doubt you could ship them domestically for that!

I searched them out and went for a pair, then passed the info on here, not sure how many guys went for them but I think everybody was happy with them and surprised about the shipping cost.

I doubt you could ship a 12 pack of beer across the country for $28
