...'verts. I have already ordered one set of 6-leaf springs and related parts (not the original 5-leaf, and not the HD -leaf option either) from ESPO Spring 'n Things for my EW1 N-code, and I now want to order a second set (this time the OEM 5-leaf springs) from Eaton for my FQ3 L-code. Part of...

On the BoaB,I added a leaf on each side.KYB gas-a-just shocks. Slight rake when empty,and level when fully loaded.. On my wagon,I did use the ESPO srings with 1 inch upgrade..well worth the extra cost..

Do yourself a big favor, if your *** is draggin' contact ESPO Springs and tell them what you have and they will send you a new set of springs. Think of it this way, it took 60 years for your original springs to fail. An new set should las almost as long. How old will you be when they need...

Implying that ESPO is inferior?

Hi Dave. Thanks for the advice. I paid more for the Eaton Springs because all of their springs are made to order in Detroit. ESPO makes some springs in Mexico and some in US, according to their website. New Quality Matched Pair Leaf Springs For Your Car or Light Truck 1940-1990's+ Also...

I did the same with my 77 NYB, Haven't installed them yet, But!.. I too have KYB's on her now, They work very nicely. IMO it's the way too go.

...and holding it stable a bit but the sway bar eliminates the "wanna roll" feeling in a curve and side to side. I didn't replace the bars as Firm Feel suggested no need. The springs are ESPO springs, 7 leaf one inch over stock. The Shocks are Bilsteins. I think I'm real glad I have the bar.

I'll bet a moderator could move it to the right section. :lol:

OK folks from ESPO here is her response: Hi Jeff, The 6-leaf standard duty stock replacement springs are $320/pair, the HD 7-leaf springs are $330/pair. They are matched pairs and come with the front bushings pressed in. Rear shackles with bushings are $76/pair; ubolts $20/set of 4 and front...

I got mine from ESPO Springs & Things. Ask for Laura, they were the same as a Dodge van. The ones they had as listed were wrong. I say she would remember my order as we went back and forth for a while. Tell her you are after the same bushes that you sent to Peter from Australia with the 71...

Do you mean add a leaf to the springs you have or replace the 6 leaf stack with 7? Either way it will stiffen the ride up some. Only you can be the judge of what is too stiff tho. I've added a leaf before, basically cut the eyes off 2 main leaves and put them under the mains. It took the sag...

...and look at the number of leaves on each side for the body style you have. Notice the more leaves in the HD factory option, too. Then contact Espo Springs and Things (www.springsnthings.com) and tell them what you have and that you desire a set of springs for "+1" rear ride height. Then...

This ..!

Thanks....I'll give them a call!

The bushings in the shackles are usually replaceable. Might need to be pressed in, but similar GM items just push in. Check with Espo for that deal, too. Firmer rubber is better, by observation. CBODY67

Bought a set from ESPO 2years ago. They out priced local shops EVEN WITH SHIPPING INCLUDED!! Very happy with the quality. Very knowledgeable people and great to deal with!

Eaton Detroit, ESPO, all get good reviews.

Thanks for the link, Michel All the parts are supposed to be OEM spec, stock height. ESPO makes some springs in Mexico. I paid more at Eaton because all Eaton springs are made in Detroit. I wanted to be sure of what I was getting and to try and support American workers in this difficult time...

...be harsh around town but ride better with a load aboard. Yet as mentioned putting more stress on the rear crossmember. Band-aid really. With ESPO and Alcan offering replacement C body springs they are a better solution to a saggy rear end. Buy Quality Automotive Leaf Springs, Coil Springs...

SHACKLES WERE COMPLETELY WRONG SHACKLE BUSHINGS WERE RIGHT FOR REAR SPRING EYE ONLY, SO YOU HAVE 2 SETS OF LEFTOVER BUSHINGS. MOOG K7308 NEED TO BE FOR 2.5" SPRINGS. DON'T SEE DIMENSIONS IN SUMMIT AD. IF YOU ORDER THE EATON SPRINGS, $11.99 FOR A SPRING EYE BUSHING KIT SAVES OVER $74.99 OVER...
