So which one do you like beter? Because i've been debating between the two myself. I'm leaning toward the Rusty's front and rear. I like the BOR springs better. They are made by Alcan, but specially for BOR. The springs I had from Rustys only had 4 leaves where these have 7 with one as an anti-wrap. How high are you going? I will have some Rusty 4.5" front coils forsale after this weekend. Nothing wrong with them as they actually gave me 5.25" (7" with a 1.75" spacer) of lift and haven't sagged yet. I just needed something a little longer to match up with the 8.5" of lift I have in the rear. |

Welllll, actually i want 8" overall. I was considering the Rusty's 6.5 coils and springs. With a 2" spacer up front, and a 1.75" shackle in the rear. BUT if i keep the spacer and the shackle, i will need to get a slip yoke too. Now thats the problem, lack of funds kill me every time. I may just get the springs and leave out the spacer and shackle for now. Or i might be able to get away with a t/c drop, and still run the spacer and shackle. What do you think? All at once or wait for the SYE?

You definately want to install a SYE on anything over 4.5" of lift. So, you could do that now and get a rear driveshaft that will work for both or wait till you can do it all at once.

I agree with Eric, that is way too much lift to be running a slip yoke. Either the driveline vibes or the constantly busted U Joints are gonna make you want to do this mod asap. I'll ask around and see if I can drum up a kit for ya cheap.
