1989commanche Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 In the front I had to add 2” bump stops to keep the tires from eating the front fender. So if you lift high enough and bump stop appropriately you shouldn’t have too much of a problem. In the rear before I changed springs it needed 1-1 1/2” of bump stop to keep from bottoming out the rear. The rear did rub slightly off camber the tops of tires would kiss inner wheelwell. May be ok now. I need to go flex it out and see. Pics of JCR front bump extensions. And rub marks in wheelwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coheed Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Not trying to derail the thread. Does anyone have experience with the Hell Creek metric ton springs vs the General metric tons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have experience with the Hell Creek metric ton springs vs the General metric tons? Do you want quality and value? Get the GS MW springs. I have no complaints, I've not read one complaint. Man here just installed a pair and he seems happy happy. Be happy. Edit: and no, I don't care what anyone tries to peddle you, you'll not see any practical payload advantage to 'MT' springs over the MW springs.

Are you saying Hell Creek isn't the same quality as General? I'm asking because I only want a max of two inches over stock of lift and it seems that the Generals give a consistent three inches. Reports on the Hell Creek springs say they are roughly OEM ride height for a 4WD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 HellCreek used to be the only game in town, but the quality was very good and the owner was here on CC and would answer questions, etc. but then a couple years ago something changed... and the trucks getting the new leafs had the tire pushed forward in the wheelwell a noticable amount. In more than one truck. and I seem to remember that HC claimed that's how it was supposed to be and would travel back as weight was applied in the bed. But the tire looked... off the rest of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
