RE: Leaf springs?

[Tom Duross <tduross1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Same here in Boston with my 64 Belvedere.
I told him it bottomed out with 2 people in the back seat and I wanted
another 1" in standing height, empty.
He took them out, put them on a press and tested them then replaced 2 leafs
and added one.
Super duper and he asked and listened and let me drive it for a while loaded
and unloaded just to make sure I was happy.
I vote for the local machinist shop.

Hi Rick,

Haven't seen anything from you for quite a while. Been hiding?

I would tend to stay away for JCW springs, you don't know what they are made
out of...i.e.: no strength. Do you have a local spring shop that can make
you
a set of springs? Here in StLouis, we have StLouis Spring. We went there,
told
them what we had, and what we needed, and what they were going to be used
for. They made them for me, and I picked them up 2 hrs later. I think they
were
$180 for the pair.

Best thing we've ever done for the suspension, as the car still doesn't sag.
I did pull them off the following week, and had them put more arch in them,
they did it for free. Took about 45 minutes.

So check out your local spring shops. I've heard too many bad things about
Mopar springs, almost all are made in Mexico. But that's another story.
