I'm one of those guys that likes to figure the logistics of the project ahead time to minimize the surprises. The whole suspension on the car will eventually be replaced. After I get the car running, and the brakes done, I'm going to work on the suspension.
My first question can I just change out the shocks in the back and front first, and deal with the springs later this winter? Right now it bucks like a wild bronco, the shocks are completely gone.
I think I found one place that I can buy new leaf springs in Michigan, but I know of a place a couple hours away that will re-curve my old ones. They are known and recommend, in central Ohio, by numerous car guys. I know the springs are original and are sitting completely flat. Any advantage over new verses re-curving the old?
Last question any long term bad effect leaving the rear end jacked up under the axle housing? The springs look awful reverse curved and tucked up in the wheel well. It makes it easy to get to everything that I'm working on right now, but it might be sitting like that for a month.
