Will guys I finnally got my front springs. I had them built to handle a 200 pound bumper and a winch. Still have to get my drop pitmen arm, the stearing stinks.


Front has 4" Alcans and rough country nitro shocks. The back is the stock springs off of a 1 ton with blocks and Procomp nitro shocks.



The truck rides a ton better than it did with stock springs.

Here's some flexing shots for you. It's not a crawler but not bad for a heavy truck. That's my dad driving.





My rears don't flex very well. The tire is off the ground.

awesome! that is some good flex in the front. i gotta do something about my front leafs here shortly. they are saggin bad. if you dont mind my asking what does a custom set of front leafs run? im guessing $400 but i guess it all depends on how you have them setup. how does it ride compared to the stock setup?

 

My stock rear springs flex alright but then again I don't have the 10 leaf pack + overload spring... Mine is just the 7 leaf rear. Unless you're hauling real heavy on te rear you should tak some of those leafs out of there I can put 4800lbs in the rear with my leafs. It sags but it's still off the bump stops, albeit just barely but still.

 

The front springs cost $230 a piece. And it rides a lot better then the stock springs.

 

I've thought about it but I don't really need it to flex. I live in Nebraska, everythings flat around here. I might still do it if I ever get sick of the stiff ride.

 

$230 isn't event that bad. did they come with the hardware for that price or?

how much did you lift it anyway?

 

They came with bushing and white tape wraped around them. I lifted it four inches.

 

Huntinguy your truck looks great.

 

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

 

how did the front driveshaft fare flexed out like that in the one pic? alcans look great!

 

That's why I was flexing it, to see if it would come out. It didn't, I was kind of surprised.

 

What size tires are you running, 35s?

 

33's 285/75/16

 

Questions about the front springs.

How many leafs are those?

What is the weight rating?

Were they one offs or has Alcan made a few sets of those?
