hmmmm... looks good to me ...might try them out ...
 






They only list prices up to 8" lift springs. That would be sweet, don't know if I can crank my t-bars enough to level it out, though. :D
 






6" rear lift leafs for $189? something is fishy fishy :)
 






That's what I kind of thought....but who's going to be the guinea pig?

I have the 4" set... If you notice the $189 is per EACH not both.
 






I figured that, $190 is still a bit low, but thats a good thing!

How do you like your 4" set and how much was shipping?
 






...And?? Are they soft, stiff, sag a lot, etc.? Let us know John because I'd LOVE to get a nice set of 3" lift springs for when I go SOA. :cool:
 






They custom make either flexy springs or heavy duty springs. They both give the same height, but the flexy springs uses more thinner leaves, while the heavy duty springs are thicker (with less leaves). I spoke to Tyler @ Carrier spring and he said the heavy duty springs give a stiffer ride and are geared more for towing while the flexy ones are for Off-road.. Needless to say I have the Flexy springs.. They are really well made and have performed great on and off-road. I only Installed them in July and have taken them on a few off-road runs and they worked great :thumbsup:

It is probably too eary to tell if they have any sag and I haven't taken any recent measurements.. With a Skyjacker 4" lift up front the body appears to be slightly higher in the front 1/2" ish (not raked). I figured it would take 6months or so for everything to settle and even out..

How is $190 low? Superlifts are $129. Also these should work on a 01 sport right?

Superlifts what? 4" 6"?
I paid $500 for two 4" Skyjackers, a little softer then the Superlifts.
Yes they should fit your sport.

I guess I am used to seeing higher prices on lift springs, with shipping and all that it grows quickly
 






Superlift 4" springs are $129 each from Summit Racing and a few other vendors. Summit has like $8 shipping I believe.

I bought a set of custom springs from them!16 inch rears for a ranger and it was a little over $600.very soft and they have not sagged yet.It is the best custom springs i have bought yet.
 






Canadian Dollars

The prices listed on their web site are in Canadian dollars.

Today $190 Canadian dollars = $161 USD.

Does anyone know is these leaf springs are even close to being as good as Deavers. I shopping for new leaf springs and I need some long travel 2" lift springs. Also does anyone know if explorer leaf springs fit on a 2000 ranger, or any ranger? Im selling my Superlift 4" Superide leaf springs on ebay, some guy asked me that question.

Explorer and Ranger springs are not interchangable.
 






Does anyone know how much the 2" lift springs would be for a pair (with new u-bolts) and with shipping. Also, i see that they are based in Canada. Does that mean that the prices are in Canadian dollars, or US? Just curious. If no one knows then that is fine, i will find out on my own.
 






I sorry but the springs are interchangeable.I have 4" skyjacker on my explorer with spoa.I used 89 ranger springs on my 93 explorer with a 2" aal for years,then swaped in the 4" ones.Soon to be changed to 6".

When I ordered my springs last year their web site was not 100% up with ordering. As such you should call them...
