    I use the 3.5" (11leaf?) lift springs with a shackle flip. They work very well..

        I'm running 3.5, 11 leafs my Sons got 5.5, 11 leaf and my Son in laws is 3.5, 11 leaf. Only problem we've had is my Sons center bolt snaped and lost the axel wedge, all flex ok. When I got mine 6 or 7 years ago I heard that they were a National spring that WH was selling, don't know for sure.

            I am in the market for new springs too. I talked to Wild Horses and they told me they get their springs from Betts now. I am not sure what set I will buy yet. I was thinking about Deavers from BC's.

                    springs are like buying a matress. everyone has an oppinion of why theirs is the best. but it all is about what type of ride you want. some are stiffer and some are soft and effect the steering. i now run BC in the front and national in the rear. the BC are stiffer than the WH springs I had before.

                      I have the 3.5 W/H from mtnbronco. I love them.. I did the same and went with BC's up front and Nationals in the rear.. I Used a Grade 8 bolt and rounded the Nut end for my center pin.. I also upgraded to the larger U bolts..

                        I ordered from Wild Horses. I thought about the BC springs but decided to go with what WH has.

                          I have the WH 5.5" 13 leaf and have no issues whatsoever. If you do Jim will back them...

                            I talked to a guy who broke a couple of leaves in his WH pack, although they did replace them and I guess that could happen to any spring. Anyway, I just ordered the 5.5'' from Cage offroad. I'll let ya know how it turns out!

                              Just changed to a new set of 5.5" WH leafs. This really jack up the ass end from where it was. They seem to flex very well. Ride is a bit stiffer but they are brand new.
