When building a flexible suspension it is important to have plenty of shock travel. Stock length shocks simply won&#39t travel far enough to keep up with our flexible springs. We recommend shocks with 12&#34-14&#34 of travel. Our tall hoops will accommodate 14&#34 Bilstein Shocks and require the inner fender to be cut and shocks installed with the top above the inner fender.. Our Medium Hoops will accommodate 12&#34 shocks without cutting the inner fenders. Weld on installation. Unpainted finish.

 

When installing lifted rear leaf springs, it&#39s best to rotate the pinion so it points directly at the rear transfer case output flange and use a CV style drive shaft. The best way to rotate the pinion is to cut off the old perches and weld in a new set at the proper angle. Normally the spring pin is installed in the center hole but you can also move the rear axle forward or backward 1&#34 by using the optional holes. Made from 1/4 plate steel. Unpainted finish.

 

Trail-Gear leaf springs are flexible on the trail yet hold their lift year after year. Springs are pre-cycled and lot tested to maintain quality. Nylon pads between the leafs reduce noise and allow springs to flex more easily. Raised clamp assemblies prevent binding of the leaves within the pack. Dual-pass shot-peened to relieve material stress. Our front springs feature a full military wrap on the front and the 1/4 wrap on the rear. Spring rate is 220 lbs per inch. Leaf pack is 6 leaves. Springs are 47&#34 long as measured along the top leaf. Pin to center of front mount is 22&#34 and pin to center of the shackle mount is 25&#34. New poly bushings and left side spring pad are included with springs.
