well I personally have had both now and the imports didn't even last 3 weeks for me so they warenteed me a new set of US made ones. Well now my US ones have a BAD neg. arch in the front. So I'm working on getting yet another set of springs to replace those. I only have 1 week in Moab and 1 snowrun. 6 days of wheeling have made my new ones go bad. I just think I got a bad set of US made ones.
Man that is crazy. How heavy is your rig? All of our rigs that have our springs under them are running USA springs and they are working excellent. I personally can vouch for the
USA Springs being an excellent, especially the front springs. My truck is pretty light (3200 lbs) and I carry only light loads, so I have removed 2 leafs from the rear pack and it has been working great for me. My rear does ride rougher then the front, which has broken in PERFECTLY, but once I put a load in the back, then it feels much softer.
I have flexed the springs out to the max and left the truck parked like that for hours with no side affects. Just last week I had my truck up on a rock on the passengers front, about 1.5" from the bumps, and I left it there for the whole day while I was working on Bevin's truck getting it ready for the State Ref. That night I just jumped in and backed down, and then drove home. No side affects at all.
I have never used import/chinese springs, and I can not compare, but I know that I am really impressed with the USA springs. They have worked great from day 1, which was last Nov.
