Rear Leaf springs with 2" of lift

Hi
My brother in law is running a BJ spacer lift in the front with stock leaf springs in the rear and longer shackles. He recently broke a spring and wants replacements with 2" of lift in order to get rid of the longer shackles. Our local 4x4 store tells me today that there is no such thing. I thought I had found them on the ARB/USA sight. Old Man Emu "CS020R" is what I believe was the part number. I would like your advice on a reputable dealer that can help me obtain 2" lifted rear springs. They don't have to be OME but they can be. They will need to be shipped to Buffalo NY 14004 so I guess the closer the better. Thank you in advance for your help.

Your local 4x4 store guys are idiots, they exist. What doesn't really exist/are very hard to find are stock height aftermarket leafs. Any ARB dealer should be able to order you the stuff you need without any issues. You can look up all the ARB dealers in your area off their website/catalog or shop online and see who's got the best shipping.

Yes, the OME leafs are ~2" of lift with a stock 3.5" shackle. Dunno what length shackles or tire size your brother inlaw is running, but after I cranked my t-bars a little to fit my tires, I have found myself wishing I had longer shackles (5.5"/1" higher) to compensate and give me back my slight rake. I ordered all my stuff from TRDParts4U.com before discovering that you can get the stuff from pretty much any ARB dealer.
