Leaf springs

Has anyone used the complete springs stacks with the reverse eyes from M50? Do you have to do anything with the spring hangers? According to their catalog, the front complete stack will lower 1 3/4 and the rear will be 2 1/4. That is the lowest I want to go.

Thumbs up

I would just call Mid-Fifty and ask them. They are very helpful and will be able to advise you better than most folks on here.

I had sent MF an email but had not heard anything. THey called me Wednesday evening. Yes they were very helpful. THey told me that they can have their short and smooth springs made with stock eyes instead of the reversed. So you do not have to flip the hanger and it does not set the truck in the weeds. They are the same price as the short and smooth with the reverse eyes.

Most folks agree that the reverse eye springs dont lower a truck as much as advertised. 1.5 to 2" lower than stock height would be unnoticable to 99% of the folks out there. You can also use tire height to make up some of the height lost.
