Before I had the boomerangs up front I inverted the pass side shackle against the frame a few times, so the spring has been fatigued there for a while now.
The springs are going in to their 4th year, and they're Rough Country. So the warranty is long over and I wouldn't want another set anyway...

Steering seemed a bit funky which is why I decided to look. Thought maybe a ball joint or TRE failed and was popping. When I saw how off the shackle angle was, that's when I finally picked up on the break. The tires rub regardless so thats why the metal is bare.

I ordered a set of RE 4" springs yesterday, and they'll be here today when I'm off work  :beer:
Got both sides plus bushing kit for $200 through a friend of a friend  :beer:

Thinking spring over is in the near future (not that I ever go wheeling but I still want it), these will do just fine for now

You do know the RE standard leafs are the same as Pro-Comp's 4" leafs?

Mmhmm, I remembered that. Pro Comp wasn't any cheaper really, at least at this guys price. Maybe it's what he ordered me then?  :confused:

Either way, it sits a lot better now, rides better, and is definitely safer. I hadn't really realized how much the Rough Country springs were sagging! The front end sits noticeably higher and my 35's fit much better now  :thumbsup:
Actually, it sits so much better now that I thought I put my shackles on backwards because the angle was so much different than before  :pirate:

Old bushings were virtually grease-less so I imagine that's what helped the most. The new leafs are also a 5 pack vs a 4 pack like the RC's so maybe the spring rate is different as well...

They sure did a crappy, half-assed job of painting these things though.
