so i saw a dodge durango drive by the other day (i think around the year of a 97-00...) and i noticed the rear springs. they look  really arched and they also look long and have a good leaf stack. does anyone know about these or are they possible to run? i tried to look for some specs on them but couldn't find anything.

i have also wondered this, unfortunately i have nothing helpful to contribute...

[-Matt-]

damn, ya i really want find this out, unfortunately there probably a reason y no one runs them but its worth finding out

[crawlerdan]

i know a guy in norcal that runs them on a first gen, flexes nice

of course new mounts will be needed at both ends. i believe they are 56 inches long
im not sure

leafs are cheap at wrecking yards, do a write up, be a hero!!

[NorCalToy]

i remeber lookin at em when we had aa durango and i remeber it now, i think mini has a durango if you can get hime to measure them.

[-Matt-]

hmm maybe ill write him in a day if someone else doesnt know

awsome, ya i thought they were 56 but wasnt sure. do u have any idea where the center pin in located? and i think im gonna go for it once i get a few bucks im gonna head down to pick and pull and get a pair. it would be sweet to have something different

[crawlerdan]

i dunno on pin location, but i know he was runnin them backwards

[-Matt-]

sweet ill have to definitely check them out

so i decided it was time to give my truck more lift to get it semi ready for fordyce, just finished it today all i did was add 3 leafs that lil buddy took out for the rear end, and for the front the 2 smallest leafs from a marlin back. its perfect height im my opinion ground to frame is 25.25

[Duffil]

funny thing is you and LB are lower than I am and on bigger tires...guesss I ne d a bettter spring pack huh?

Yeah... .Your truck is pretty tall. Mines at 25 1/4 just like clown

Just take out a few leafs in each pack... Thats what I did. Flexes better and rides nicer for me. it was pretty stiff before.

I think Rex's springs are only like a 3-4 pack so he can't really take any out.

On another note my truck is at 25 1/4" also.

thats surprising to me that he has that much lift with only 3-4 leafs what kind of springs are they?

Mystery Lift.  I was told MAYBE they are superlift when I got them from snowshoebrue.

frame is 25.5 on 33s and they are 3leaf packs with a small overload.

[-Matt-]

omgg thats soo ridiculous wow do they flex decent?

[Duffil]

the fronts are OK but the rears are poo.

[THK Matt]

duffman has the gangsta lean sydrome goin on

[Goose]

Lookin good matt!

[Jud]

the fronts are OK but the rears are poo.

Your rear would do alot better if you worked on your shackle angle. lol
