If you didn't make it, and it ain't broke, you didn't try hard enough.

one of those freinds toybuilt was refering to was me, and to be honest, they flexed pretty well, where fairly cheap, and provided room for 35s----BUT---i later switched to toy rears up front and they flexed way more and where...free. also, those wrangler springs left me sideways in the middle of the little sluice starring at a brocken leaf spring-not as strong as i would hope. i then switched to wagoneers..and then toy rears and have used those since :thumbs: hope this has been at least a little useful

They are 2.5 inches wide, the center pen is exactly in the center which is I believe 22.5". I saw a Taco that moved the spring hanger forward and made a cool shackle hanger for it... Oh yeah they were Rubicon Express's  1.5" springs, part number RE1445.

It flexed like this... Oh yeah thats a 4 foot tall pole... Hey look you can see Blackdog and Ruger in the background...
RIP Kyota.... you are the man

I thought the 44044s were wagoneer springs?

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
