SBpunk Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Anyone ordered an add a leaf from Hell Creak lately? Trying to figure out how much lift there ends up being once installed. I have 2 inch pucks in the front I want to replace with full springs and wanted to lift the rear up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 No experience with their add a leafs. But there fill spring packs are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBpunk Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Do the MT springs give any lift? I know it says no lift on the site but I've heard they give around 2 to 3 inches over stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Yes and no. Perfect condition Stock MT vs HC MT probably not. But my sagged out, $#!&ty 2wd springs vs HC MT, yes. Gave me about 1-2" enough to level out my 3.5" front springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBpunk Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Good to know. I'm fighting with myself to keep my 92 LWB 4.0 sprung under or over. I have an 8.25 29spline that needs new perches and trying to decide which I want to do. Either way I want to get some heavier duty springs in the back weather its AAL or a full pack to bring up the capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I wasn't looking for a crazy lifted offroader, so I stayed spring under and just put an adjustable lift shackle for some height tuning. I have 3.5zj coils and the HC-MTs and a 1" shackle and I sat near perfectly level +/-2" over stock, now I have a small forward rake from my plow, but that's to be expected. I have a bunch of before and after pics on my build page if ya wanna check it out. http://comancheclub.com/topic/47096-my-1991-comanche/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBpunk Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Do you have 16 inch wheels or 15? Was wondering if you could take a measurement for me if they're 15's. I know it's not the most accurate but was hoping to get your height from the center bottom of the wheel/rim to the bottom center of the flair?

mikekaz1 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 33x12.5r15 but I have aftermarket flares so it won't be accurate in that sense. the standard for measuring is top of axle tube to frame rail and I know the factory specs are front 2wd-6.75" 4wd-7.75" and rear 2wd-8.25" 4wd-9.25" and if i remember correctly I'm pretty sure I measured mine to aprox. front-9" and rear 11" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBpunk Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 That'll work. Even if I did go SOA I could use a XJ shackle and drop the back a bit if I go that route or use a chevy drop shackle if I want to do spring under and gain a couple inches. Really want those MT though for hauling crap and towing when need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I love having the MT springs. ive hauled a ton (literally and figuratively) of wood and bricks and it handles it really well. I definitely like having them. they ride exceptionably good too. no complaints at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
