    I'd like to know as well. I'm looking at these or the general spring hd springs. I have a broken leaf. Apparently the wheelers hd raise approx 2"-2 1/2". I'd like to know how stiff they are with no load, do they flex ok?

    I had a stock leaf break last year and replaced both sides with General Spring HDs. They seemed slightly higher at first; in fact I was even hearing a sound in the rear that was leading me to believe I was going to have to add shims to straighten the drive line a bit, but they settled fast and I don't think it's much higher than stock now, if at all. I would definitely go with the HD springs.

    ETA: I installed Bilstein 5100s all around a few years ago.

    I've talk to wheeler people . They said it an expedition spring kit. So bass off of that it would seem to me it wouldn't be that stiff
