Fiberglass leaf springs? What?

[lethaldose]

yea... but a warranty dont get ya out of a trail or get ya home...

that right there said it all ...... no matter if they send you 2 sets so ya have one the garage ... when you break something and your bone dead on the trail and ya have to rig and tug and have ya buddy's yank your ass back and you limp home the warranty isnt your best trail compadre' hahah

And, if you were breaking them every month...even if they did keep sending you a new set, who would want to keep replacing them all the time. I don't know about everyone else, but my time is worth way too much to be waisting it for no good reason

Consider their business risks though. I dont believe such a reputable company would offer them with an unlimited lifetime warranty if they didn't test them to great limits first to know that they wouldn't be swapping warranty parts every year

Couldn't find a price anywhere...

That is very true. Haha, I just think it's kinda funny they'd make fiberglass springs. But you're right, I'm sure they actually would be a good product. I just wonder how much abuse they'd take, and what there limits are.

Still wise IMO to wait for some reviews.
Gonna be pricey with Johnnie joints on the spring eyes,new sway bar and also the high steer option that comes complete with a new knuckle. Go ahead and get it TC. Let us know how they work.

I'm going wheeling next weekend, someone buy it for me and I'll put it on and beat the snot out of it. I'll let ya'll know how it holds up

fiberglass springs have been around for a while now. Friends use them on their drag cars. Never put it on mine, because I needed a street worthy ride. Great flex for launching. They will not break or snap even going over rough terrain because they are so flexible. They wouldn't make for a very stable ride on the street in a jeep. If you want flex, that would be the way to go. Just my 2 cents.

But what about being smashed by rocks, how will this affect the integrity of the spring? I think thats what most people are concerned about

I like snitty's idea of putting a metal leaf under the pack as a skid . . .

 

[currupt4130]

I broke one this past weekend, a metal one that is

I broke a stock spring on my very first Jeep. Maybe there's something to this fiberglass after all
