rearching leaf springs

i couldnt find a thread on this so i wanted to ask, would rearching the leaf springs be less expensive and better quality than new leaf springs. i was looking at JCW and www.p-s-t.com for them but i thing p-s-t is too expensive
thanks

 

jc whitney is on back order until auguest 2007.

www.espo.com has leaf springs.

and yes, you can get yours re-arched, any springs shop should be able to do it. i havent looked into it out here in iowa, but in arizona they wanted 200 bucks with springs removed or 350 with springs on the car, and i couldnt afford that, so i havent done it yet...

i am going to get mine re-arched i think

 

Ask them if they are American Made, may be worth the Xtra $$$

 

All they do when they re-arch springs is stick them in a big press and reshape them. If the metal is fatigued enough, they wont stay that way too long. I'd buy new.

 

my friend had a dodge 3/4 truck that had them rearched... they stayed that was for over 4 years, and we went offroading in it all the time.

i bet some would re sag.. and some wont. but the piece of mind is to buy new

 

I agree with Dennis......better go NEW

 

ya go new. i wouldent even deal with rearching.

I bought a set of 4 leaf Espo springs and it raised the back of my car at least 3" over stock height. THen I bought a set from JCW. The JCW were perfect.
