Frustrated with my RE leaf springs

[ECKSJAY]

So because I am dissapointed in the quality of a product from a normally reputable company, but don't have the large amounts of time required to deal with their mistake right now, you decide to personally insult me?

"I had a problem with a product, so f**k the company that sells it because I don't have the time to deal with it. RAAARRR, they should have got it right the first time!"

Sounds perfectly reasonable. :jester::read:

I bet RE will take care of you.

One of my friends bought an RE 3.5" Kit and the front coils started to split ~1 yr. after he bought them. He called them up and explained his situation and all they asked was for a picture. They sent him a new spring free.

You'd be surprised what a phone call can do.

Pics of your leaf pack/center pins/perches/shackles and a side veiw(wheel well area) of your rig on the ground carrying weight would help with the problem!

You'd be surprised what you can do with springs. I have a Rusty's 4.5" set that started to sag on me after a couple of years. I took them apart set each leaf between a couple blocks of wood and re-arched them with a BFH. I then added a leaf from a set of stock leafs. This was about 6 or 7 years ago. Still works.

Picture I took the other night. Anything more will have to wait till I get home. I think I'll just cut of the back crossmember for now and build something better later when I have time.

well I hate to say it, but that looks like a good angle right there.

That looks just like the JUNK they sent to a kid down the street..
Good luck, Are the springs still made in INDIA ?

Yes


I think for time's sake I'm just going to relocate the front spring mount, I should be able to fab something up in one evening and install the next.

If the springs are not right no amount of jacking with them is going to make them right. If you want satisfaction with RE don't send an email, call them up. Speak with them rationally about the problem and give them the opportunity to make things right.
