From ESPO's Facebook page: ESPO Springs 'n Things ESPO Springs 'n Things "Coils springs, shackle kits, bushings, ubolts, front eye bolts and front end chassis parts ship within a week. Usually 1-3 days. NOW FOR THE SAD NEWS Leaf springs are currently about 4-5 months lead time. Due to not...

https://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/threads/espo-looking-to-reproduce-a-fuselage-shackle.24698/ As far as I know ESPO never did manufacturer these as they had planned.

Which shackles did you use then if not ESPO shackles? Recycle old ones?

I have posted about my experience with ESPO: Search results for query: espo See also the very detailed and helpful posts by @1970FuryConv who has used Detroit Eaton: https://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/search/29893979/?q=espo&c%5Busers%5D=1970FuryConv&o=relevance...

I have Espo springs on my cars. I remember talking to them at Chry@ Carlisle many years ago ,They had a paper catalog also.

Yes. No one makes new ones AFAIK.

Best bet is to buy new. I used Spring and Suspension Specialists | ESPO Springs n Things as have others on here. B-body springs aren't going to work.

This is also being discussed on FABO. Someone made a comment that supposedly or possibly ESPO was getting their leaf springs from here: https://www.johnrspring.com/leafsprings.html Actually, it's best to follow the FABO thread, as this "John R Springs" is turning out to be a red herring...

Another vote for ESPO. Same as @aaron72, they had mine done early and the quality is really nice. I was able to pick them up and they were genuinely nice people.

ESPO on FABO. ESPO Springs n Things So, age is definitely the big factor here. I can't blame them, I retired just after I turned 61.

can that happen with a car with coil springs? My 71 Lemans does exactly what you describe, almost feels like the back is pulling the car back and forth. New shocks didn't help much

ESPO gave me an estimate of a 12 week delivery time, but they came in just shy of 8 weeks, and this was July/August of this year, so it may not be the full 4 months they are estimating.

Thanks for sharing! I have new springs and hardware from ESPO waiting to be installed at the end of the season.

Or you can simply call ESPO and tell her what you have.

4 months wait time any other ways to get something sooner?

Really appreciate all of this info! Amazing.

Currently have some new leaf springs in transport from ESPO only two months in on their projected 3 month lead time, so will get those installed along with new rear shocks.

I have Eaton on one of my cars and ESPO springs on another. I think that either ESPO or Eaton are good choices. IMHO, it all comes down to price with shipping.

Thank you, guys. It was a bit of hardware I was unfamiliar with. Laura from ESPO confirmed that it is a Stover lock nut that uses distortion of the top threads to create the friction to reduce loosening exactly as CBODY67 described.

I got the notice that my ESPO springs should ship today and arrive mid next week. So maybe install them next weekend
