Great product. Great customer service. Very well built. Would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade
Installed the Shackletons and flip kit on the rear last weekend. I wend with the MD duty after chatting with Eric and weighing out the truck. Rides great.
Let me start with what my suspension setup was before I installed the Medium Duty “Shackleton “leaf springs package. In the front I have a 2” lift from Bilstein’s. The rear had an ICON add-a-leaf and SumoSprings bump stops. When fully loaded, the rear of the truck sagged 1” lower compared to the front. The offroad ride quality wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. The rear suspension would often bottom out.
The offroad ride quality with the Archive Garage leaf springs is vastly improved. With about 100 offroad miles, I have yet to bottom out the rear suspension. The increased articulation is also greatly improved. There is a noticeable improvement in on-road ride comfort too.
The ride height in the rear increased 3” and is now 2” greater than the front. That is with 600lbs of everyday weight in the rear. The rear ride height decreases about 1” with 400lbs of added loadout weight.
Bottom line, I couldn’t be happier with the performance of the springs, and I would highly recommend them to any off-road/overlanding enthusiast.
Fantastic ride quality and second to none build quality. Super easy to shipping to Canada. These are fantastic and I wish I did them sooner - very worth it!!
Talked with Eric over a year ago but recently purchased the MD leaf springs and installed them in the driveway. This is the best I’ve had this truck running. The ride quality is unmatched. Previously, the truck had stock springs and an add-a-leaf…it was level before added weight in the back which caused a squat. Now, the archive leaf springs are paired with OME front shocks and springs and rear shocks. The rake is perfectly balanced with headlight’s shining at a perfect angle. Even with added weight the truck handles flawlessly.
