WANTED Wanted leaf springs

[C Body Bob]

Where did u send vid

To that e-mail address you provided. I was thinking they are unsprung in the relaxed position so they will measure longer. Every leaf spring that I’ve installed I had to push towards the shackle just a bit

Your PM box is full. But basically they might be too heavy to go UPS/Fed X so I can ship them via Fastenal. Clean out that pm box & I’ll send you some details. I accept PayPal

Go with ESPO. Probably closest to you too for best deal for shipping. Lot's of us have used them with very good results.

I need leafs for my 66 300. NOBODY has anything in stock. ESPO is a 6 week (probably 8) wait.

My 300 has stock 6 leaves. Is it a bad idea to put a 7 leaf spring in?

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 out of it and at the time I didn't think it rode bad but that was decades ago and ride quality was secondary to getting the bumper back up where it belonged.

Did you call John R Spring. They are a manufacturer in the Detroit area.

Hello Sir.

I meant replace my 6's with 7's. I have the 383 ,and the 6's are probably broken. Even the slightest dip and I'm metal to metal (I HATE that). The roads are garbage in CA, and I don't want to be disappointed with simply replacing them with spec,but I don't know if the car will stink-bug, have a really bouncy ride, or both.

 

[C Body Bob]

I still have mine for sale if anyone needs em

Go 7, you won't regret it.

done. ordered. ESPO full kit. Now, in August hopefully I can report on the results.

 

[DirkRhodie]

Certainly, I can do that tomorrow. Now these are 50 year old springs. You should have them rearched. Unless you are just trying to get the car on the road again

Excuse me for jumping in but can you explain rearch process to me, so at least I know the process when I get mine redone here in South Africa

Google rearching leaf springs. Then go to YouTube & search for a video on how it’s done.
