    I am looking into having Alcan make me some custom leaf springs. I would like to hear from those how have or have had springs made by Alcan. What was your experience ? Did they squeak, how was the ride like and did you have any problem with installing the e break bracket ? Any and all personal experience would be muck appreciated. Thanks in advance !

    I bought the wheelers hd springs that are made by Alcan. They are the 5 leaf pack. They have never squeeked. The e-brake bracket hole didn't line up, so I tapped a new hole and remounted the brake line bracket. They handle a heavy load and raised the rear of my truck 2". I feel they are quality springs.

    Thanks for your reply I was asking about the springs you have in another thread so that answers those questions. Didn't know that Alcan made those for wheelers. They will be making me some custom springs as soon as I decide what I want.
