Question Fiberglass Rear Leaf Springs for our L sinking lower??

Hey Guys,

Not trying to put down the Metco Fiberglass leaf springs, but if they are not holding up???

I was told that when you get the Fiberglass springs, they already drop your truck 2 inches, so I don't need the shackles.
Thinking about getting some to lighten up my truck and maybe get some better traction.

Heard some rumors that maybe the Fiberglass springs are sinking below their original ride height?

Whoever has installed the Metco Fiberglass leaf springs on their truck, Have you checked your ride height since the install?

Is the rear of your L getting lower as time goes by? Anyone measure their ride height lately?

Just wondering if the rumor is true, before I order some?

Thanks

Thumbs up

DL,
I just went out and measured mine: 32" from the ground to the fender well. I have had mine since they first came out and have noticed no sag. Mine has also had a bunch of 1.6 60's !!!
