Ranger leafs for more flex/softer ride

[newstylecustoms]

I have lift shackles installed which gave me a two inch lift but it is still fairly stiff with the factory leaves and I really don't like how low the shackles hang down. Has anyone tried a spring over with Ranger leaves to give around a three inch lift since the ranger leaves are softer rate? I have a set of ranger springs and cant afford the Deaver long travel leaves.

Thanks

Anyone? Opinions? Bueller?

With that much weight on the springs you might only get 3" of loft but to get that the spring will be very flat if not inverted much of the time.

OME/ARB USA makes a leaf spring with about 2" of lift. Its great for wheeeling with tons of flex but doesnt tow well.

I ran them for years and still use their main leaf in my frankenpack.

Thanks for the input. Maybe I should piece together a hybrid of the explorer and ranger packs. Don't know where to start though, I really don't want to assemble and disassemble 10 times to get it right. I am trying to find the OME springs but no luck yet. On ARB's site it just lists the part numbers but not the applications. When I search for Explorer products it doesn't list anything for suspension??

I had to do a bunch of digging but I found the pn as it was 2 years ago.. The ome-36 new part number is Cs042r

That is cheaper than the Deavers, but $360 is more than I can spend right now. I need to do more research on the leaves that I have to make a better pack.
