    I have fox springs up front approx 3” of lift when new I added a winch so say 2.5” now. It was maybe 2” higher in the rear with stock springs and aal. I put Ironman 440 constant load springs in the rear it’s now about 5” higher in the rear!!! I’ve only got 150lbs in it right now but I put a 4 wheeler in the bed it only squat an inch... I don’t mind being an inch or 2 higher in the back but this is crazy supposed to be 2” lift. Will it settle that much?

    IMHO, you should've went with the progressive (0-440lbs) leafs versus the constant load leafs, especially if you have a single cab. You can likely remove one of the leafs to lessen the lift but call Ironman to confirm.

    Sounds like a bouncy ride!
    I have the Ironman (0-440lbs) progressive leaf springs, they will settle, but I don't think the constant load ones will settle enough for what you're wanting.

    I second @Wattapunk and say give Ironman a ring to see if you can pull a leaf. Alternatively you may be able to see about getting them exchanged for the progressive leaf springs, depending on how long you've had them. Worth a shot right?

    The ride actually isn’t to bad! And I got it for hauling sled I didn’t think of the single cab issue then. I think I just have to take the 2nd overload spring out and it’ll be like a regular pack... but I’ll call them on Monday thank you!

    Glad it worked out. I've been quite pleased with my Ironman leaf pack. Rides quite smooth and no squeaks.

    Right on man, glad that worked for you!

    I agree, I have been happy with them as well.
