Alcan springs

I know a few people have put these on their trucks, does anyone know how much a full set of 4 ends up costing?

That's kinda what I was guessing, I have a trucker friend that can stop and pick mine up so that will save me a little, I hope if I spend all that money it will soften my ride up alot, that's a pretty big investment to have it not work so great

It should, i installed the spring tip sliders on my stock springs and that made a decent improvement, could only imagine custom springs aswell.

If you're going for ride quality and don't plan on hauling heavy, make SURE you tell them that...and say you want thin leaves and more of them. It will run about $100 more per set but makes a big difference.

Fred Swanson swears by them and has put them on numerous trucks. Fred hasn't posted on here in awhile, so not sure if will chime in.

Thank you for visiting our web site. At Alcan Spring we custom build our springs to fit your Dodge by using information you give us about its weight distribution, lift requirements, and how you plan to use it. The cost of the springs: $ 242.00 each Front spring and $ 252.00 each rear spring. They come with bushings and take about 3-4 weeks to design and build. Because this is a Cummins the front spring has to stay like it is except that we do install inserts on the tips of the leafs which helps with the ride. The rear we make is not a two stage like you have, it is more like the front springs and we set them up for your weight.
If you have any other questions please feel free to email or give us a call at 1-888-321-0870. When you are ready to order please call us so we can discuss any particulars you have for the performance of your springs.

Thanks Again
Charles
here is the quote they just emailed me
