I had a set of Alcans on my Toyota truck. They bent. Currently, my brother has a set on his truck. Also bent. Here's the deal. The best spring will have more leafs of a thinner material. This gives more flex without sagging than a set of springs that has fewer, thicker leafs. Think about it; what will flex more, a thin leaf or a thick leaf? That is why OMEs have been so widely praised, they're built right. I have 175,000 miles on the same set. No bending, breaking or sagging. Just my two cent's worth.
