I think what chris is talking about is some off the shelf springs, similar to all pros (maybe something made by bretts spring).

I'm crossing my fingers for a add a leaf kit for my chevys.

mobil1syn,

Yes, this is true. We have been working on getting our own Marlin Crawler springs for some time now. We have already approved samples and are waiting for the first shipments scheduled for July.

As far as I know, they are designed as a 4" lift and have alterations/differences in comparison to All Pro's springs that will provide more flex and a softer ride.

Expect to see alot more information and press releases by next month.

Regards,
BigMike

We are going to start with the front springs and related suspension then later work on putting a rear suspension together to match.

Yup. Actually someone already beet you to it. We sold the very first full SAS kit yesterday. All of the parts went out on the same day of course except for the springs which will be shipped the day they are in. So that guy can start on his welding and setting up and then get the springs and boom he's done!

That's the last I heard. This Wednesday night we will have our monthly staff meeting and Im sure we will be talking about suspension.

I heard from a blue bird that our springs are slightly longer then ap. Other differences I believe are that we use heavier/thicker u-bolt plates and shackles. I will ask Chris for more info on this..
