my tg springs are awesome, i added a leaf to the front ones to hold the v6 better and i have no complaints, all springs suck if you dont set them up right and bend them into a negative arc

All these guys bashing TG springs with no first had knowledge and only hearsay.

I have sold and/or installed over 250 sets of springs either in kit form or by themselves. I have warrantied ONE spring due to it collapsing. When I worked for All-Pro, I would get calls weekly about springs having issues and the trucks leaning to one side really bad. I would warranty 3-5 springs a month there.

Wabfab said it right. The people who have issues with springs didn't set up the bump stops right or don't run them, or jump the hell out of the truck trying to destroy it. Its a pretty simple equation. You won't hear from the people who have good luck because they did it right.

I would guess that afterward, they wish they could go back then.

I don't want you to think that I am singling you out though. That was not my intention.

IMHO, guys should run whatever they want to run. I see an absolute TON of misinformation on every forum about what people "have heard", but no hard evidence. TG gets a ton of bashing by the pro-Marlin fans. They bash them every single chance they get.

To set the record straight, I have had far less issues with TG stuff than Marlin or All-Pro stuff. And, that includes personally running each kit on my own vehicles.
