I went to the sand dunes about 20 miles from my house New Years day (hangover run 2010) and when I got back I noticed one leaf on the right side spring broke right at spring plate and u-bolts it was the 3-inch lift spring (full length) from Wild Horses. It just so happens I ordered Wild Horses 5.5 lift springs that morning before I left beause I wanted the 11 leaf pack to replace my worn out springs. Luck, Charma, or what.

I've run the WH 5 1/2" springs on a couple bronco's now and have a couple buddies that run them as well. They all seem to warp right in front of the rear shackle hanger due to axle wrap. I recommend running some sort of traction bar before it happens to yours. Nice springs.... just what I have experienced.
