Beware of RPG and National Leaf Springs

[KaiserM715]

...are you inferring RPG took over national? i am confused lol

Nope. If that is the case, that would be new information for me.

 

[Snowfordf150]

No. It's not relevant. RPG is a trusted name around here. You aren't. Take your ****** feedback elsewhere.

I'll take that into consideration.

I have a set of National HD +3 springs, got them used with about 5000km on them and have put about 2500km on them since I installed them. Still sitting at the same height when empty, but at about 3/4" over stock with CO2 bottle and mount, 10b fire extinguisher and mount, one 5 gallon fuel, one 5 gallon water, shovel, 1.5 ton race jack with extension and Pelican 1440 tool box. I got them used and for an extremely good deal and I am very happy with them compared to stock. Maybe you just need to be patient with the vendors, you are not their only customer.

I'm really psyched to hear that you had a great experience with your springs. A month is a long time to wait for a reply considering it takes two minutes to write an email.

I have Nationals on my truck and on my last truck. Deavers on the first one. Deavers sagged after a few thousand miles and they re-arched them for $485. Did not have an issue after that and have not had an issue with any Nationals. Springs sag and they need to be re-arched.

Which springs did you buy? Are you using a block in the rear or did you get a +2 or a +3? Your truck looks good to me. Springs settle after they are installed...what is the measurement you are considering as "sagging"?

RPG bent the springs?

How do you know this? Did Corey tell you that? Did the person doing the install tell you they were bent? You know how hard it is to bend the springs? If they were shipped UPS I would say there is a UPS claim there because I can almost certainly tell you no one at RPG is capable of bending the springs. Even if someone is lifting leaf springs above their head and throwing them on the ground I don't think they could generate enough force to bend a set of springs. C'mon dude, the BS meter is high on this one.

I bought the national standard duty leaf springs. Maybe they do need to be re arched. I would need return communication from RPG to discuss that or any other resolution. I am not using a block as Corey told me arched springs would suffice in lieu of a block.

RPG custom arched the springs.

I had springs on my ranger crack once 15 years ago...wonder if I should blame the foundry where the steal was made, and post it on a motorcycle fourm.

You shouldn't steal. It's wrong. I hope I'm on that fourm so that I can be equally constructive.

RPG isn't custom arching the springs. They would have them arched for your application but it's not like they are building them.

Again, what was the number of inches the rear has dropped and how many miles have you driven them.

I don't know how many guys know this but these springs are literally made by hand with a badass dude and a big ass hammer and anvil. This isn't old school medieval shit! There isn't any science to this and sometimes shit happens.

You aren't the fist to have to re-arch springs and you won't be the last.

Steal, steel. Oops look at that. I could blame my phone but I'm just slow.

Here - go to this forum. Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans. It's just for F150 guys. And they absolutely love ******* drama like this over there. You will get a ton of useful advice and you will be made to feel safe and righteous in your decision to flame a respected FRF vendor. Isn't it fairly obvious that you are not going to be coddled and babied here?

Seriously though, you found your way here, but didn't take the time to research what was probably the better spring for you to get? How did you come up with the name WSI? And on another serious note, it may be a little difficult in the future to get anything from a vendor around here after that hatchet job you did on RPG. We are all competitors, but we also watch out for each other and step in to help whenever it is needed. RPG has't responded to this shit-show, and for good reason. What could they possibly say that would make you feel better?

Just go over to the F150 Forum. They are more suited to handle your type.......

1.2" on the left side. 1.5" on the right. Install was 4 months ago. Truck has 10,000 miles on it now. I've probably driven 4-5k miles in those 4 months.

I could go to F150 forum but they are not as excitable as all of you and where is the fun in that?

Hang around a little longer maybe you could end up on the same island as @Rated R LOL!

I knew the truths of all of your worthless ******** issues were going to come out eventually. Just another ******* troll trying to get us all worked up.

Another thread to go in the shitcan from here........

First piece of decent advice I've received on this forum.

I actually have a legitimate claim. And by the way you are an idiot.
