can or has anyone ever had 2 1/2 inch lift springs re arched for a 4-5 inch lift, the only thing i can think maybe a factor is that the springs maybe to short?

and your shackle angles would be up the poo

and if you're into dune jumping, then you're gunna have BIG torubles with shackle inversion:nuke: :p

put a jack in there and straighten it back out!!:rasta:

Can?? yes. Suggested? NO!

Re-arching spring will shorten the straight-line between spring eyes, and turn what's likely already poor shackle angles even worse. It will add nothing for additional spring flex, and may in fact reduce it. And, rearch work is generally a short-term solution, only lasting 1-2 years of moderate offroad use.

IMO, either bite the bullet, talk with Nolen, and learn more about running 5"+ Alcans or go SOA and be done with it.
