Certain of those Comanche springs are essentially Ranger 4" lift springs. I considered ordering a new set for my truck...

I could see that maybe in the rear with no weight. I’m not so sure up front as they are nearly same length and a bit lighter rating. But a bit more arch
 
I didn't even think about front. Forgot what the subject at hand was when I posted.
 
Well after days of being given leafspring packs and none working out due to rot, bent springs or guide pins being too small here we are. I decided I’d be better of building a Hybrid pack using a combination of YJ,MJ and ranger leafs. It’s by far softer! And 2” lower, the springs themselves are now longer instead of being compressed into a shorter 41” eye to eye they are now 47” eye to eye. Gonna redo the front hangers and swap in 4” shackles. I’d also like to adjust the rears hangers a bit better….

As for the rear I’m waiting on a usps to get the Chevy 63s and new hangers in aswell.

the current height after bouncing it and moving it about honestly isn’t bad but do hope to get it another inch or 2 lower from where it’s at here. But it’s much better than it was and the fact I can bounce it without causing a hernia is a win in itself
