Damn that was quick.

HA! I was typing it up as you wrote that.

I have no complaints on the springs at all only positives.

Better ride, better control, great customer service and build quality.

Plus the cost is better. HD's shipped for less than you can buy any of the other springs at before the shipping cost.

I have the WSI springs and I'm currently running an adjustable drop shackle at a 1" drop. I'm sitting a little higher than stock

Just got off the phone with a rep from national.

It appears we have all been mislead (according to their story)

National HD springs sit at stock ride height (per the national guy) they have only made one HD +3 and that was in the past two months.

So Yukon and I according to their records never got +3. Just National HD's.


Basically they passed the buck back to RPG saying the sag was normal.

They also changed the given installment specs to have full weight on the truck when torquing the mounting bolts, Unlike the supplied instructions from RPG to not have at full droop, but not have full weight on the springs.

I give them credit for calling me directly, but this doesnt solve any issues.

i was told i installed them incorrectly and the bushing is whats holding up my spring. Hard to believe that after 6 months all of a sudden the bushing is frozen.

He furthered explained that the HD springs have very little to no arch. When they were delivered they had a massive arch, to the point where it was a pain to get them to line up with the shackle. Now they are flat.

He also commented that Standard springs are only +1. So it appears what we ordered through RPG is not what RPG ordered through national and what we requested was not processed accordingly.

******...

RW i think you need to get on the phone, your good at these things.
