    thanks Jerry, now I'm educated
    aftermarket supplier
    I know the factory never supplied them that way that I recall
    it was both ends or nothing
    actually I think the MB had an unusual set-up on the drivers side front spring only

    Jim: "You are correct Sir". Mine are wraped on both ends--just never looked before (Pro Comp 2.5").

    I was also under the impression that the military wrap was on both ends of the spring, thus preventing failure.

    Didn't that happen on a measly gravel slope? :D

    My Pro Comp springs were double ended on the wraps.

    Umm Joe if you want to call lower 2 at Tellico a measly gravel slope than yep. R)

    The other one T16 at Windrock claimed it.

    Hey Jerry - The guy I went out with last weekend has the Black Diamond kit on his 5 - it is super flexy - I think you'll like it. (I have no idea what end he put the wrap on - sorry)

    Thats what I wanted to hear. "SUPER FLEXY" :D

    Superlift bought them and I'm thinking they are the same springs as the Superlift kits use for less $. ;)
