Stock Ranger leaf length

Roger · Jan 6, 2009

If someone had some Ranger leaf springs lying around, I could use some measurements. Eye to eye and center to front eye and to rear eye... Thanks! I know if I were to use Chevy 1/2 ton springs, I need to move my front spring mounts forward 6".

But, I'm curious. I was given some Toyota Tundra springs today (free!!!), they appear to be 64" long (eye to eye) and the pin seems to be dead center...

I'm just wondering if I can make these work and flex. I need to get rid of the lift blocks... :icon_welder:

The chevy leafs are 63" long with an offset pin. Having the pin in the center might pose some problems with centering the axle in the wheel opening. The ranger springs are 56" IIRC.

Yeah, they're 56". I think it's 26" front eye to pin, and 30" pin to rear eye.

Thanks! I found my notepad about an hour ago that had all my measurements.

So I'm trying to decide first, if I'm going to use these springs. If I do, I will swap in a different axle since I am also considering placing the springs UNDER the frame (inboarding them) for more flex and placing the shocks outside the frame for control. And I'm sure I'll need to remove at least one leaf from each pack, since the Ranger weighs less than the Tundra...

Yes, I'm going to place the springs under the frame, and move the shocks outside the frame. I just need to find some really long travel shocks to make this flex.
