Has anyone used 4" lowered Leaf Springs ??

[jrcaprai]

I am thinking of buying a set of Lowering Leafs that will drop the rear 4" as I already have the Hanger and Shackles in the rear, and I think a flip kit would be too much with the hangers and shackles...

So has anyone used the Leaf springs to lower their truck such as these ?

Installing the exact samething in a week or so, cheak my build thread if you can hold off. I already bought springs, hangers and shackles "hopefully it works" ha!

Cool, I'll watch for it... do you have a link to your build ?

I bought mine and am using them with some shackles for a 6" drop. Remember that 4" drop springs will give you 4" less than factory ride height, unlike anything else that drops it said amount from worn out 20+ year old saggy springs.

4 inch drop leafs and another 1" using the lower hole of a 2" shackle.I do not know how they will react to a stout engine. Mine came from sporttruck direct and do not have the same amount of leafs as shown in the pic you linked to.

I have had them on my truck for 5+ years, but with stock shackles. They ride well, but reduce the carrying capacity of the truck. Well, mine do. As Frank said, mine have fewer leaves than stock. Mine are by Western Chassis.
