The height came out PERFECT Paul, and the install came out clean!

I thought I throw some info out there to clear some stuff up.

The springs that Paul has on this truck are custom made per each application. I order the springs with the rate/height I want from this company, and I had been doing it this way because there were no springs on the market providing the rate I wanted. I had had these springs ordered for Paul and they took about 2 months to get!!!! I was told 2 weeks!!! They are quality springs from Coilsprings.com , but they take much too long to receive. Not to mention I have another set I'm waiting on still which has been over 2 months also. When Pauls springs were in limbo I had over 1k in spring orders to them and each time I called to check in on my orders, I'd have to call in 3 times leaving a msg with a person, to get one call back 6 days after the first call .. Nice...

Anyway in my frustration, I started making some calls, as I can't run my business that way. I will still use them for the custom height stuff but having to tell the customer it will be 2 months for springs is horrible..

Since Sage Carli and I had started doing business quite a bit lately, and we have a VERY GOOD business relationship at that, I decided to talk to him about his coil spring rates which turned out to be within' 5% of what I run. Good enough for me!!!! I will be going through Sage now for coils and minipacks as they are a great high quality setup that I wouldn't change a bit. Sage sure does have that "bling factor" compared to my products..


I'd love some pics of your truck Paul to put on my site, if you can get some with the truck not in the concrete jungle!! lol!!!

usedtostrokeit, is that you John? If so I guess Sage's springs and packs work good with my shock valving? Shock valving is one thing Sage and I probably do different as we haven't discussed/compared valving yet. I do all my own valving research design, as that's one thing I've been doing for a LOOOOOONG time and I valve a lot of long-travel buggies by "word of mouth". Re-valving is a time killer so I don't push it all that much. It sounds like Sages and my shocks ride pretty similar so they are probably close.. Pic's from you too John? please.... pretty please??? lol!!

Thanks all....
