long shot i’d imagine, but i’m looking for a set of four superlift 1” lift springs. I understand they’ve been discontinued without any other options on the market. Shoot me a PM if you have a set for sale, or have a lead on where i might find some.

I bought just the 1" springs for my project from super lift several years ago, bought different shocks (longer) and bought stock ubolts .  Make sure the ubolts they give you aren't 1/2" diameter, so you won't have to drill your stock plates.

Thanks for the heads up. On a side note I just picked up a Western plow setup complete with a Hi-Lo pump, mounting bracket, lift cylinder with mount and controll rod this morning for $200 in amazing shape. Just had to shout out I guess.

Anything Omix Ada kakes is totally suspect. I have been running
Rancho 1'1/2 inch lift springs for years. They work great.

I can barely write out a thank you card for Christmas and I had problems writing out reports in college. I started writing to a friend in the hospital that was having her knee replacement. I just wrote about things. Dogs, cats, horses or cotton tail rabbits. I just wrote her things to keep her entertained. Actually her nick name when she was a lawyer was the Killer Bunney Rabbit from Hell.   Her sister got a few. I'm supposed to write now?

Thanks for the advice. Are the rancho 1.5” springs still in production? All i can seem to find are 2.5”, which is too tall for my project.

I’m starting to think it’d be easier to just go with stock springs and get some 3/4” shackles and call it done.

Hey, stock springs may work out OK. They will give you some lift back just from having the correct arch in them.

Check for nearby businesses that can rework your old springs. Lots of members here do that instead of buying new and several have expressed regret they don't have their old springs

I have a set of 1.5 Rachos I'd like to move. They have the bottom leaf removed so they are about 1 inch. (I ran them SOA before I went custom) if you can get them I ride from Syracuse NY you can have all 4 for $100.00
