currie 4" leaf springs ? who's running 'em?

i'd like to go 'up' a bit from my RE 3.5" springs (from the 6130 4.5" kit)...

i think a pair of new 4.5" RE springs would be too high, so was looking at maybe some 4" springs. they're a bit pricey, but anybody running the currie "sportsman" springs? good/bad?

anybody else make 4" spring packs?

thanks.

I've only heard good things about Currie, but for a 1/2" it's not worth the price. Especially since RE has a reputation for giving you more lift than advertised, especially in the rear, meaning the Currie pack might not even lift you more. Put a longer shackle on to get the extra lift, add another leaf to your pack, or add a 1/2" block.

If you're planning to go from a 3.5" to 4" I guess I'd ask why bother? Your 3.5" springs are probably sitting at 4"+ anyways.

In regards to who makes 4" packs, you could try tomken.

well my RE 4.5" lift has "settled", but unfortunately the rear has settled more than the front (and i've got a stock bumper back there and no tools/junk in the rear)...

so i'm just looking to even things out a bit. no doubt the 4.5" kit gave me more lift than adverstised, but i wish it would have leveled out equally.

so if i replace w/ new 3.5" packs, who's to say it won't happen again, and if i replace w/ new 4.5" packs then it will undoubtedly sit higher in the rear (at least for a while); so i was thinking of splitting the difference w/ some 4" packs.

i'm already running the extended shackle, and the only larger one i've seen is 6" (eye to eye) and it looks as though it would interfere w/ the exhaust.

tomken: i've heard good things about some of their products (i'm happily running their gas skid), but i've heard to stay away from their suspension lift products... ??

thanks.

read my post about my s10 Blazer ZR2 springs. They might suit you just fine. The post is called: The ULTIMATE BUDGET BOOST
