Re: Alcan springs, rocker panels, waterproofing, other

Hi all,
So far I have been real happy with the springs!
I've been on two trails since I got them, and the articulation was great!
Buddy of mine rearched his springs, got shackle lift, with a two inch add a
leaf on his J**p, and his tires would hang in the air on the same obstacle I
was on!
I would definately buy from Alcan again. The only thing I would change would
have them make the rear springs a little taller.
