Message: <blockquote data-quote="RPG" data-source="post: 192150" data-attributes="member: 1155">The National Springs are actually $1395.00When we approached National they were willing to work with us in developing a spring that’s progression and load rating was specific to our vehicles.* Both the Standard Duty and HD duty spring are military double wrapped with 11 thin leafs hand matched to each other.* The arch of the spring was designed so sagging will not become an issue down the road.* We’ve loaded up over 1400 pounds of material in the bed of our old Raptor with Standard Duty Springs, and proceeded to beat the hell out of it off-road the very next day, and they never once sagged on us.Another thing to keep in mind is that National Spring still uses all US or Canadian steel and hand forms each leaf in house (they are literally beat into shape with heat and a hammer).* National will not source their spring material from over sea’s that is pre-formed and simply bolted together with little regard to fitment and consistency.* Another important fact is the Raptor has dual pins that seat into the axle housing.* Each of these holes needs to be drilled independently and lined up perfectly for each individual leaf totaling 22 holes that have to be spot on.* This is a very time consuming process and is still performed by hand.Believe me guys, I wish it was as simple as leafs showing up, pre drilled and formed with a simple bolt and go process. Unfortunatly it takes a long time to produced one spring.As of right now, there is easily over 100,000 collective miles put on Raptor specific National Springs.* To date, we have only had 1 squeaky spring that was taken care of.* I can’t say this enough.* Ben and the rest of the boys at National have done an amazing job.* No matter how hard we push them, they still make sure each spring goes out as perfect as the previous set before it.* It’s no wonder to us why Robby Gordon, Rob MacCachren, Ivan Stewart and others have opted for National Springs to bolt on their race vehicles throughout the years.Also, stay tuned as we are going to be announcing some really cool news regarding National Springs in the next day or two.*</blockquote>
