Metric tonne springs?

[IDMJ]

How do I know if these are? They came with an MJ Dana 44 that I acquired. Do they look right?

Those do look like the 4/1 MT springs , unless someone added a leaf . 

[IDMJ]

That’s what I was wondering 

[IDMJ]

There is not an add a leaf in the pack so, I'm assuming theses are the  metric ton. If I do install these what kind of lift do they add? I'm looking to go up a couple more inches.

They shouldn't add any lift. They were for load capacity, not lift.

 

Unless your existing springs are badly sagged and you consider getting back to factory height a "lift."

[IDMJ]

My springs are in good shape. I thought I had read somewhere they were taller. I don’t want to swap them for no lift and a harsher ride .... 

[Eagle]

Some of the aftermarket "metric ton" springs sit higher than factory ride height, but they shouldn't. That's actually a bug, not a feature (except for people who want a lift, like you). The factory Metric Ton (Tonne) springs did not ride higher than standard springs.

those look like the ones I salvaged from my 90 metric tonne after it was totaled.

Found two versions of pack, what is military wrap front eye, and rebound style clips?

Military wrap has the second leaf wrapped around the front bushing as well as the main leaf.

Thanks Eagle, I'll have to check both sets I have

The factory metric ton springs didn't come with the military wrap. That was just part of the General Spring group order deal. 

The only differences in height between factory springs were that the 4x4 models sit about an inch higher. So a 4x4 metric ton spring pack will lift an orginally 2wd truck about an inch, but that's not inherent to it being a metric ton spring. You'd get the same out of good condition factory regular-load 4x4 springs.

Thanks for the info guys!

Thank's for the info.

I got 4x4 metric ton so I'll go for the military wrap when that day comes.

here in Sweden it's impossible to get anything when it's about new blades...
