Spongy rear suspension

I know it's worn out. 202k miles on the shitty streets here so it's due for replacing. Was just hoping to try and make it a little more bareable until I could afford leaf springs. Was looking at either the Wheelers 5 pack or the 8 pack, but can't find anyone with experience with them. Some people have recommended All Pro too. Idk.

 

So. Have you tried the 'unhooked' test drive yet, then installed the shocks properly to see if you can detect anything different?

While the odds are probably against it, it's free, quick, and worth a try.

 

I used to have the Wheelers 5 pack. They we very good, beefy, maybe slightly more than an inch lift. Excellent springs overall, although I broke a leaf after 6 years. I blame that more on the extended shackles and rough 4x4 over those 6 years though.

 

Got busy today. Definitely doing it tomorrow.

 

Going for about 2" up front and would like it to sit level. Would the 8 pack be better option? And finally someone who has used wheeler packs lol.

 

Trying to weigh my options as far as leafs go. Don't want any rake or sag, can't go over 2.5" as that is what I would like the front at. What about getting normal leafs and getting either an AAL or blocks in the back?

 

The 5 pack is good for a 2-2.5" lift up front. It should be pretty level.

I don't know much about the 8 pack... but those in general tend to sag more if you haul loads, but articulate and ride better if you don't.

 

I don't haul much stuff anymore. Most will be some wood from Home Depot or maybe some bricks
