Why? What's wrong w/ Skyjacker? IMHO they are by far the best "mass produced" 3" spring made. Bolt keepers rather than clamps, Military wraps and tapered leafs rather than cut. Nothing but great experiences with them (bad w/ Downy, actually). I'm curious why you don't like them.

 

ive ran 2 sets and the well honestly they suck, im glad that you had luck with them, but i didnt, they were stiff as a board, they were more for apperance than anything, but when it came to getting on the rocks, they blow

 

thx guys Also, thx for the link Intrepid. Allpro it is. Mike

 

I just bought the 5" skyjacker soft rides they work ok for me.
They a take a little while to break in.

People fail to realize there is alot more expense going to marlin or all pro leaf springs.
First off it moves your axle forward like 2" then you need thier spring hanger and you need a longer slip driveshaft. You also need to move the location of your shock mounts to different location.
So for a front spring change it's more like $600 plus after you get done.
Hey if you have the money for that go for it. A whole bolt on skyjacker lift kit costs about that much.

The Skyjackers cost me like $263 shipped from www.jackit.com and they just bolt right up.
Yes I needed a longer front driveshaft I just used a IFS front driveshaft I modifyed it to go to 35 deg and it bolted right up.

 

Never thought of the driveshafts. thx for the link

Yes I too would have liked the Trail Gear or Merlin kits but don't have enough Mula so I just ordered the Skyjacker 7" Suspension kit with rear springs can't wait till I get them installed.
