RE Spring Questions

oct7brian · 01-30-2006, 11:58 AM

Just got a set of RE 4" lift springs to replace my Rough Country springs. I have a few questions prior to installation. (1) are RE springs all the same front and back? (2) they do not have a shims for the rear can I just swap the shim over from my RC springs?

Front lift springs have 6 leafs, rear only 5,
This was the case for my RE4.5
Assuming your old RC springs are also 4", you can reuse your shims!

OK so all 4 springs have 5 leafs. So I'm guessing they are all the same

yes, the 4in spings are all 5 leafs. it states on thier site can be used for front and rear.

They should be. Measure the length of the spring(eye to eye). I recall when I was looking at springs, that the front or back were longer than the other. Otherwise they should be the same.

Looked them over a little closer and found they all have the same part number so they are all the same... now just got to get some different shackles
