from everyhting i have heard atlas is a great brand of springs to go with...look into fullthrottle they make rear leaf springs also
talk to Noah over at southsideoffroadcustoms.com he can probably have a custom set built for you locally

My lift is a full throttle and it is already coming with atlas springs, I was just wondering a little about them! I really have not heard anything good or bad about them, so thought I would ask!!

Atlas springs are GARBAGE! I went through 2 pairs of their 9" rear springs in less than 1year! Fernando only warranties his springs for 90days... way to stand behind your product!
I managed to get the first set replaced after 8months, because I mentioned going "public" with the problem.
The second set Fernando sent and claimed was "heavy duty" only lasted 3months of street driving only! When I went to remove the second "heavy duty" pair, we found that the only thing holding the rear of my truck up was the traction bars! LITERALLY!
After taking the bolts out out of the traction bars, both rear springs completely collapsed. Fernando had me send that set back for replacements and I haven't heard a word from him since. No phone call, no new springs, not a d**n thing. He's a f'ing douche bag!!
I'm currently running 11" rear springs built by Carrier Spring Service in Canada and I couldn't be happier! Even being 2" taller than the 9" Atlas turds, the 11" Carrier springs ride A LOT better and have not settled excessively, let alone collapsed!
Maybe you'll have better luck with them, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Our website is www.atlanticoffroad.com and Carrier Spring Service's site is www.customsuspension.com/3 of the trucks on our website are running springs built by Carrier. Build to delivery time is the only complaint I have, but the final product is TOP NOTCH/worth the wait and the guys there are great to deal with. If you call, ask for Tyler and tell him that Brent from Atlantic Off Road in NC sent you! |

I agree on that one dieselmadness.... I am thinking about later in the future to see what he can do about a front axle swap for the ole BirdDog!! But as for now, I am going to drive this lift around for a while....
