WH 1.5" leaf spring questions

[toddz69]

A question or two for those of you that run the 1.5" WH rear leaf springs.

How much actual lift do they give on your truck? A little more than 1.5" is fine - just curious on some real world measurements.

It appears they're 10 leaf springs whereas the taller lift springs are 11 leaf. If any of you have run the taller lift springs, any comments on the ride quality/spring rate as compared to the taller lift springs?

Thanks,
Todd Z.

I have the WH 1.5" front / rears. I bought these when they first came out about 4 years ago. 10 leaves, Bilsteins, and newer stock body mounts. The ride quality is very good overall (for an EB) and I didn't have to do a lot of tweaking to other areas to get decent ride quality, ease of entry, steering, etc. I went from an older 2.5" lift to a new 1.5" so it's not really a fair comparison.

In terms of height, I can't crawl under it right now but I would say it's accurate. I have a spare tire, no hard top, and minimal rake.

I daily drive mine but had it on some dirt and gravel trails last weekend and was also very happy with the ride quality there as well.

We don't always hear back from customers. At least not right away.
Of course, many of the sold ones are not anywhere near to being installed yet either, so there's always that!

Thanks for asking the question Todd.

I have 11/2 front/rear springs with hard top and rear seat and I was high in back about a inch so I took the 3rd leaf out it sets a touch high in back now

Shazaam! I just went from WH 3.5 lift springs, giving me 3.75 to 4 inches actual lift above stock depending on measuring, to 1.5 inch 11 pack WH springs giving, 1.5 inches of lift. I have protofab bumpers, hard top, family roll cage, and 35 on the rear bumper. I do not have a rear seat, but do have the big gas tank but it's empty. I think the 1.5 SL and 2BL with 35's looks outstanding. And I can slide my arse into the seat again. Can't say, I think these are the heavy duty versions, dirtdonk?

Thanks for the feedback - this is the first I see 11 leaf versions mentioned for the 1.5" springs. Is that a thing? Your truck sounds like it has very similar loading to what mine has (or will have if I put a hardtop back on it).
