1995.5-1997 leaf springs for 4x4 ex cab

Does anybody run the custom-made Alcan springs made in CO
And if so are you to provide pics on how they look under

 

I have some Alcans that just arrived from them last weekend. Will be installing tomorrow, and can share pictures and experience with how they go. First impression is they look great and I like how thorough they were in getting info about my rig to build exactly what I wanted (3" lift, with 700lb cargo capacity).

 

You make me smile

Are you also wheelin' with the RadFlo coilovers and rear reservoirs
That is what the dude there I chatted with named Lou or Lew recommended to keep my rig at the least lift closest to stock height as possible desired
...he totally trashed the kings and fox shocks as too high of maintenance, no offense to any of you that dig those brands

 

No sir. I'm running Toytec 3" lift coil springs with 5100s up front and 5100s in the rear (with unknown source AAL leaf pack). Someday I'll have the money to put something higher end on my rig, but for now the budget setup I have does pretty solid. I may have to check out the radflo stuff when I get to that point. Hoping these Alcans are as good as I expect to pair with the good stuff down the road

 

Happy to.
I run 3/4in high in the rear cause architectural Carpenter by trade has own tools. I can still go up a tad higher in the front.
Talking w/ Toytec about the rear leaf change in my build they recommended Bilstein 5110 in the rear after I asked.
things changed and I don't run w/ tools cause now new company supply them. lol May take a leaf out

 

So I got the Alcans installed yesterday and initially was scared I was gonna have too much lift in the rear. They've already settled an inch overnight though, and now I'm only sitting at 1" higher in the rear than the front.

New pic after Alcans installed:







Oh and by the way on the initial test drive last night they rode night and day better than the old AAL. Gonna do more testing today, but overall first impression of these is excellent.

 

Were those red bushings supplied by them as well?

 

Yup they were already installed in the leaf packs when they arrived. I also got new shackles from them, and they came with new shackles bushings on them as well.

 

I’m liking what I’m hearing .....keep talking lol

 

Still beyond impressed with these. Might have to get some air time to finalize the testing lol

 

Do you have any broken roads of the highway speed nature to test them on?

 

I know this was a while ago but I just ordered CS019R. What bushings did you get with those? And was it a direct fit with the extra cab?
