IDMJ Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 How do I know if these are? They came with an MJ Dana 44 that I acquired. Do they look right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Those do look like the 4/1 MT springs , unless someone added a leaf . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDMJ Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 That’s what I was wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDMJ Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDMJ Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 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 .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 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.

jpdriver1 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 those look like the ones I salvaged from my 90 metric tonne after it was totaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSwede Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Found two versions of pack, what is military wrap front eye, and rebound style clips? https://www.generalspringkc.com/product_p/gsc-571.htm https://www.generalspringkc.com/product_p/97-571.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Military wrap has the second leaf wrapped around the front bushing as well as the main leaf. Photo from Rough Country web site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdriver1 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Thanks Eagle, I'll have to check both sets I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSwede Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 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...
