    @M C M Do you offer a heavier spring for the front to accommodate aftermarket bumper/winch?

    Yes, We have a 700lb spring option. We also had custom springs made to now offer a 650lb spring rate standard.

    How about rear shackles for added lift or can I have added lift built into some U748s?

    The U748s are good for about 2"-2.5" of lift, they use a 3/4" lift shackle, anything longer will start negatively affecting the springs performance.

    All ADS shocks come standard with Eibachs. Stefan just switched to the new 650s.

    well I got the K37 with MCM shackles installed. Love it ! very nice ride, smooth on bumps and pot holes.
    Gained about 1" lift at the rear.
    Great service from MCM as well. Highly recommended.

    Hi, I just want to make sure I completely understand. How much lift would I expect with the U748 package with your standard shackle compared to stock?

    Also, would the U748 package increase felt rear stiffness on pavement compared to stock leaf? I want to keep the rear planted on pavement as much as possible. And I do not want to increase harshness either. I can handle some increased stiffness IF the rear stays planted.

    I know the shock will have a big role in this, but I'm trying to get some feel for what I would experience.

    You thoughts please. Thank you.

    @M C M I’m looking for a subtle upgrade at the moment.. really considering the mini pack you offer.

    How does it handle the weight on/off road?

    My packs are fairly flat, do you recommend to re-arch them before adding on the pack?

    Will they work well with the cb +3 shackles or should I down size to your shackle or camburg shackle?

    My leaf springs are pretty flat as well. Stock leafs with Toytec shackles on top setting.. Think I screwed em.

    Subbing as I have been researching replacing my leaf packs in the rear, this might provide another option.
