The front and rear springs are 2 year old heavy duty units from Espo, but once installed, the car still sat mostly level, and to me was jsut too low in the rear...and I do not care for the low riding look with a factory fullsize. (The center cap on rear wheel was halfway hidden behind the fenderskirt, and it just looked bad.)
So I stretched the rear springs out by chaining the pair between a large tree and a tractor. The stretching made the springs gain about 3-4" in height unloaded, and once reinstalled (quite a task), lifted the rearend about 1.5". Then the taller 285\70 tires shown have lifted it a bit more. Ride quality is unaffected by the spring stretching. The pictures seem to make the rake look like more than it really is in person.
