Leaf springs

I dropped off my leaf springs tonight, to get rearched & add a forth leaf. The cost will be $80 per spring. It should sit 1 to 2 inches higher than stock, when installed. I should have them back tomorrow evening...WooHoo!!!!!

 

Hey Coop..your the first person I've seen for quite awhile that is raising, not lowering, the rear. Are you going for the "stinkbug" stance? I can't wait to see the Comet this year..I won't recognize it!

 

That's cool, but you could have gotten new ones for less money...

 

Yea, hate to bust your bubble but new 4 leafs from JC Whitney are $120 shipped to your door.

 

is that each or a pair??

 

I'm sure that's true. But, these guys are 3 miles from my house & I get them in 24 hours. I need them ASAP, cuz the car is in the shop, on the rack, waiting for them.

 

I want the car to have a rake to it. I'm lowering the front, 1 inch. By doing this, I'm able to get rid of the air shocks...

 

Show pictures when it comes off the rack!

 

Will do...
Also today, I ordered both upper control arm assemblies, both lower control arm assemblies & both coil spring perch (mine are cracked) from Scott Drake. Total was $217.00. So, it's coming together.

 

if you don't have them already now would be a good time to put thoes 90 deg. fittings in (zert/zirt/zirk). i got mine from a pony shop...frank...

 

I did the same thing, I raised the back end of my mav' but left the frount end stock. I didn't want that much of a rake. Just a slight one so people could notice but weren't thrown back by the look of it.

 

Yes, they will have 90 degree serts installed, if they don't have them already..

 

My upper arms from American Pony came with compact 90 degree zerks. They are in two pieces and the tip screws into the base.

 

A pair
