A pair of brand new front leaf springs. 51.5 long. 1.5 offset. 4" lift. I went a different direction with my
build. $680.00 new. $500.00 local pickup only. Located in Ventura CA

I think I'll be in the market for exactly that spring in a few months. If they don't sell I'll get back to you when I'm closer to needing them.
 
Cool. I have had them sitting around for a few months anyways. I did end up installing 4 and they work as well as advertised
.
 
So why did you have 6, and why are you not using them? How much lift are the other ones you have used, and how big of tire? Thanks!!!
 
These are a 4" lift and rate is good for a lighter to mid weight truck. They should be 52" eye to eye so they'll go into mounts built for 52" main leaves or if you're building mounts, work around 50 1/2" - ish for a main eye to center pin measurement.

Ok. I'm in the initial planning phase for this rig, but I have a bunch of suspension-related questions. Such as what advantages running these 52" springs would have vs. buying 48" springs that already fit my stock hangers. Is 52" a stock front length and I'm just missing out? Or is some modifying always required to run these springs?

Can I ask ORD questions directly in my build thread? I'm gonna have a bunch before I'm ready to press the "order" button again.
 
Thanks Stephen! I though they might not be quite enough spring for mine. I will still plan on getting you a weight and getting springs ordered in the next month or 2!
 
Good deal, may be interested in these down the road when I start a new build. However need to sell my ORD coilover kit first lol
 
Really curious about these.
I'm a full bodied blazer with bumper and winch up front, plus a cage. So I'm not sure about the weight set up on these.
Also, since these are " made 52s" does that mean they fit better up front? Meaning, will I need to move my shackle or just the front hangers? I have B52s now with stock length leaves and my axle moved 1.5" forward. I don't mind the axle going farther forward maybe an inch.
 
I think that's where I had an issue. I moved mine forward so I believe I ended up with the axle 3" forward.
I don't have the adjustable front eyelet, I just moved the stock one forward. I could have used the springs
but it was to far forward for my bumps, which are welded to the frame. I ended up just buying new ones from Stephen
that put mine 2" forward. I think these would work for you. I am somewhat close to you. If you want to drive up one
day or night you can look at them
 
Stephen said this was a common size he sells.

lol, yeah I read his post above hahaha

get me a couple measurements or correct me if I'm wrong

52" divided by 2 = 26
1.5" center pin offset = 24.5 and 27.5
The long side being the back side, which looks to be the case looking at how the springs are spaced.

So if this is correct, I'll need to check out my bolt hole options that are already on the truck. I'm not interested in moving the rear hanger. And these springs must ride pretty flat given they have more leaves and are thicker than my TCHD 4" spring. I wonder if I could still use my zero rate for the tapper needed to correct caster and extra height to level the truck. I'll have to look at my rig when my Shingles isn't pissing me off.
