    Any recommendations on what and where in nor Cal for leaf springs without the long wait time would be appreciated. I just purchased a FWC and my current setup of RAS HD and sumo springs 1500 on stock springs are not handling the load as well as I'd like.
    Thanks in advance!

    Alot of them
    Search online. Most people won't know what a company has in stock unless they are a vendor or looking for some themselves.

    I’d recommend just ordering the ones you really want and ride out what you have for the next few months. The wait will be worth it…

    We used to do this with our little Toyotas for wheelers, and they worked pretty well. Seems like we placed the front hanger about 9” forward and the shackle hanger about 4” rearward of the OEM spring mount locations in order to get the center pin right. Has anyone actually confirmed that this proposed tactic would work on our Tundras? Curious how the spring rate would work…. IIRC, these 63” packs are 88-98 Chevy?


    I still bet they won’t keep up with a Deaver or Alcan pack….

    Too many mods to come
    https://www.oregonautospring.com/ They actually make leaf’s for deaver when deaver is super busy. They’ll ship and have a short lead time. I was there a few weeks ago talking to them. I know not local but they can make anything based on the specs you have.

    I'm probably #1500 wet. I have the Dobinsons IMS suspension. 1 week is pretty quick. Might have to consider that option is I don't want to wait. Thanks

    For sure. If i remember, dobinsons ships stuff out of a warehouse in florida. I suppose you could still use the RAS with these new leafs if they weren't enough

    Yeah, if I go that route I'd run the ras, and the sumo springs with the Dobinsons hd leafs.

    Ironman4x4america.com may have what you need? Heavy rated springs?

    I've looked into Ironmans. I'll have to give them a call. Thanks
