New Leaf Springs


Hey everybody,

I have a 98 ranger, 4x4 3.0, 5 speed.

Currently I have LT245/75R16 Mud tires on her with a small body lift.

I want to be able to haul more weight in the bed, I currently can’t get muchpast 1100 pounds or the leaf springs will bottom out. I'm thinking this winter Iwould like to replace the leaf springs for some heavier duty ones with newshackles also.

My question is, does anybody have some brand or website they recommend forheavier duty leaf springs so that I could possibly haul more weight? Preferablyaround 2000 pounds.

This is for farm work, so stopping; (highway/city) isn't as big of a factor.

Thanks

Old thread I know

Have you looked at an Add-a-leaf kit?

If you are still looking for leaf springs we have direct replacement ones available and also heavier duty ones, I can also make you something heavier if need be. We can also supply you with Add A Leafs along with longer U-bolts, Center Bolts and new clips for the Leaf Springs.

Send me a message and I can send you some pricing!
