« on: Sep 08, 2007, 08:29:03 PM »
compared to my old springs they are night and day.... my old setup i had about 3inches of downtravel and 2inches of uptravel... these ride fantastic oh ya did i mention that they flex



now these springs are still brand new maybe 100 miles on them so far but i am very happy

Do you have 5" springs both front and rear?
What size tires are those? 35's?
Hows the ride on the freeway and onroad cornering?

those are 5"  front and rear....and 35s... the freeway ride is awesome very soft and smooth as far as cornering i angled my shocks inward for more travel in the rear so sways abit but nothing unmanageable but then again i still haven't loaded it with comping gear and the hard top on it either

i have the marlin 5'' kit and i love the flex. but it looks more like a 7'' lift that was my only dislike they never squated at all and ive clocked 2 years on them i was really hoping they would an inch or so

My 5" marlin kit was like that but after I flexed the truck wheeling a bunch the lift seemed to settle about 2"
