Hey guys, Im doing a spring over SAS with the calmini hanger kit and 44044 rancho waggy springs. Im wondering if anyone has used longer than stock rear springs and with how much lift. Part numbers would be great! Thanks.

quite a few people have gone with 63" chevys in the rear...

I wouldn't go with 44044 for the front way to stiff, and putting the chevys in the back will kill your departure angles food for thought

I was worried bout that with the ranchos but to late, I dont have room for chevy 63"s due to my bed bob so just tossin ideas around. Rear leafs are the last thing I need to do the SAS.

your angle of departure isn't going to change due to leaf springs... we still have the bed and bumpers to worry about, first... 63" chevy, I believe is a GREAT way to go...
just my $0.02...

The 44044s work well on the front, and if you're going spring over, given that you have a big bumper and a winch, the spring rate should be near perfect. The truck will be tall though.

He is planning on chopping the bed, those chevys will limit the amount he can trim. Meaning the less he can bob the worse his departure angle will be. The shorter the springs the more he can cut the better his angle will be

44044 with spring over will make your truck way too tall, more like a mud truck.

There's a guy who's running that set-up on NOR, said the bottom of his hood is 6ft from the ground.

Out back I've got 48 inch springs.

48 springs is a very good choice in my opinion, short but not too short.

yeah, but Brandon, aren't your rear springs really front springs, that you put out back...

that seems WAY too short!... but I guess we'll see...

56s are about as short as I would go on a fronty or hardbody...

So I did some measuring and 63"s will fit (CLOSE!!) if they are centered, I dont know if they are but if the are off center like I would imagine they are I can run em. Thats why I was wondering about the 56"ers. I can fit them under and would give me a little better droop. What the heck did 56" come in anyway?

Late 80's model GM trucks had 56" leaves... probably some others too...jeep cherokees have 53" I believe...

stay with a 56"

56's are generally only found in 3/4 and 1 ton trucks... and some random 1/2 tons that got flagged as heavier duty. 52's are what you'll find in a 1/2 ton, and flex basically the same amount. the extra 4" is all one one side of the leaf.

PERFECT!!! 94 suburban 4x4 60" rear springs with a couple inches of arch. $45
