Up for grabs is a pair of springs I had made by Valley Spring Service some years ago.
1st, let me say never leave a vehicle there as I had tools stolen out of my glove box (forgot to take them with).
These were built in an attempt to level out the rear of my 40 with the hard top on. It was level and then some afterward, and much too stiff. I didn't press the issue back then because of the tool theft, your word against mine etc etc. I just put them in the rear view never to be patronized or recommended. Shortly after that I pulled the hard top and went SOA on the rear.
They were barely used and not broken in. Freshly forged I guess. would probably be good for an ass heavy rig after a leaf, or two was removed. The picture shows the arch in comparison to some Rancho 2 1/2 and stock springs.
And for some reason the custom packs have the leaf I removed from my Rancho fronts stuck in there. I got no idea why. Maybe I needed storage back then. Any how, that leaf will be pulled out.
$50 for the pair
edit: Okay, while pulling out those errant Rancho leafs it all started coming back me. The above statement of not broken in isn't really accurate. They were on for a short time, and in that time they sagged to pretty much where I started. I added the extra leaf in an attempt to get it back to level. It helped, but still stiff.
