I got the 56" Chevy's on my rig and I'm very happy with them. I believe that is what RobG has on his too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I've been running those on the Amigo for a few years now. Excellent product <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

What's a source or application on those? Any rear leaf-spring 1/2ton Chevy? I'm not against a rework of my rear spring hangers, but a direct replacement would save me some work (as I'm currently welder-less and would have to rely on others). Also, I do not want to gain anything more than an inch or so, and I suspect that a direct replacement would get me back to my desired height, seeing as the rears are so incredibly beat up. They're hosed. They look like a sine wave if you look down 'em.

I'd also like to try and avoid paying the cost of an upgraded spring, I guess. But something with more of a warranty might help offset that consideration. I heard from Steve G that Alcan's are all sorts of warranteed for life. Seeing as I'd mostly likely swap these out again in a couple of years, that'd help defer that future cost.

rear springs from 80's toyota pickups/4runners are within about a half inch of centerpin placement and are about the same overall length. i've read that an isuzu leaf used on a toyota provides about 3" of lift, so maybe a 3" lift toyota spring would work for you.

now, most aftermarket toyota rear lift springs are longer, but I'm sure somebody makes a stock length rear lift spring. It would probably have more thin leaves, military wrap, etc which would work better than the stock packs (consisting of a few thick leaves and no mil wrap).

i'd call marlin, all-pro, trail-gear, etc. and let them know what you are looking for, and I'm sure they could help you figure it out.

hope this helps a little and good luck.

If you were happy with the stock Rodeo springs you had, why not grab a set from a 96-97 Rodeo out of a wrecking yard? I installed a set from a 97 Rodeo on my 94 Amigo to give it a 3" lift. Picked up a set of like new springs locally for $75.

By the way, the second spring from the top in a first gen Amigo spring cluster fits perfect as a third spring when added to a 97 Rodeo rear spring cluster. This long extra spring gives EXCELLENT, stability, and height to an Amigo. Raised the rear of my 94 Amigo another inch, 4" after settling in.
