Sorry for the possible newbie question. Does anybody know how flexy a spring is when they get rearched? I am considering buying rearched springs instead of proper skyjacker lift springs, is this a good idea? Do the rearched springs eventually sag to original height? Thanks

Yup it's a DAN Q :flipoff2:

Yes the springs will sag over time, and yes it's a bad idea and waste of money. The problem is when the springs are arched they are then shorter, which causes problems with the shackles flipping up against the frame.

Wait a few weeks and I'll have my 4" SJ's up for sale.

usulay they get stiffer, and have a reputaion for saging back down.....


if you want to be cheap, add-a-leaves, stiffer, but don't settle as fast.


What is the aplication??

Save yer money, keep the stock springs, but put 'em on top of the axles instead. :D

Of course, I'm one to talk.. but I *did* go that route on my (well, originally) low-buck beater..

Ya know...in all fairness, you weren't very specific with your "Application" question..so you kinda deserved that DAN answer:flipoff2:

There for Scout II apps. They should be available after Mar 10. Don't have time to deal with until then. There great springs soft as hell, with the springs, new poly body mounts, and 1" puck body lift, I cleared 32x10.5 Swampers (measure almost 33")
