NOTE : Cheap, foreign aftermarket springs are not recommended. We have had issues with the military wrap leaf being way too large and contacting the hanger. This is not an issue with quality USA-made springs.

The 2" FSR kits with the military wrap may cause issues for customers with worn-out spring bushings and sliders, making it difficult to clear the shackles. To ensure proper functionality, it is crucial to use high-quality, built to specification parts.

Instructions for Replacing Leaf Spring Bushings and Isolators

Due to age, it is common for the front frame horns to spread. This is because the only thing holding the front of the frame together are the rivets at the engine cross member. To properly install the 2" Front Shackle Reversal, it may be necessary to use a die grinder to open up rivet holes that may not align perfectly. It is important to note that these trucks were not built with high precision. When using this kit with lift springs, it is common for the springs to be shorter than stock due to the re-arching process for increased lift. It is recommended to drill only one hole for the spring hanger and secure it with one bolt until the truck can be lowered to check the shackle angle for satisfaction.
