Rough Country lift springs?

ac900tc · 11-12-2009, 05:20 PM

Has anyone tried the Rough Country 3" lift Waggoneer front springs. (should be the equivalent of the Rancho RS44044's) These are much cheaper $. I found the complete lift kit w blocks on E-Bay for $335.00 (buy it now) This kit includes springs,4 shocks, u-bolts etc. I dont know if the shocks would work on the S-10 SAS or not. If just the springs, U-bolts, and 2 shocks would work this would be a great deal. Any experience w these springs?

I also found just the front leaf springs for $211.00 pair (3'' lift waggoneer front.)

If you run the waggy axle you can use all the ubolts and what not. If you aint using the waggy d44, then just buy the springs. You might want to check with 4wdjoey before you buy them from where ever. Im pretty certain he has a better deal.

The springs are 3" lift for '79-'90 Waggy and J-10, part# 645H

I saw the ranchos on summits ebay listing for under 200

96superflow · 11-13-2009, 08:11 AM

^^ was it for both springs or just one? I bought mine directly from summit and they cost me 150 a pop.

Talk to 4wdjoey, he works at 4wd Factory and will help you out big time.

The Rancho's are sold individually. 335.00 sounds great to me for 4 shocks, 8 U-bolts, 2 springs, blocks and hardware. I am just checking things out and wondering if anyone has any exp. with these Rough Country springs? What is a good price to expect to pay for a pr. of RS44044's? 4wdjoey??

unless your using the d44 the ubolts wont work.

Thanks, 96superflow, That is what I wanted to know. I read the thread and he said he has had very good luck w the Rough Country's. I think I will go w those and get them from him when I am ready. (for half the price of the Rancho's you can't beat it)

I used the 3in rough country because of the heavier SBC motor. They seem very stiff and alot thicker springs then the factory waggie's.
