Getting the Wheeling Fever
I tried to get 4-inch springs to go with my Superlift. They sent two different sets that did not fit. I know I can have some custom made, but I would rather find a less expensive alternative. I think 54" chevy springs will fit, but my wimpy stock springs are now arched the wrong way, making it difficult to get an accurate messurement on the length. Any advise from experience?

I don't know how far you are from Portland but Benz Springs did a 2" for my old mini rears for only $60 a few years back. Came with all the hardware. You might check on them.

Benz

They can install them there if you want them to. Might be as cheap as raiding and adapting something else.

Yeah, I'm about 3 hrs away, but I go there frequently. Thanks for the lead!

What do you mean "they did not fit?"

Chevy's, All-Pro, Marlin, SkyJacker and others are all options. Do some searching and read ErikB's site.

Well to be precise, I mean that they sent what seemed to be Tacoma springs, as they were about 6" too short. The second time they were still short by inches. T100 springs are about 531/2" long. Chevy tucks have 52s and 54's, I thought the 54's might fit with the proper length shackles.
