Title: Spring specs needed
Post by: wedge446 on July 13, 2009, 06:16:57 AM
Seeing that wagon owners have a harder time getting leaf springs I`m thinking of using coupe springs under mine and just moving the rear hanger forward abit but I need to figure out if they will last with the extra weight of the wagon..
I know I can have mine re-arched and that there are new ones out there but we need all the options we can get.

I`m needing the specs on leaf springs for the wagon`s and coupe`s
Spring rates,stock arch, measurements from the front eye to the center pin & from the rear eye to the center pin..
Anything anybody has to offer is welcome..

WEdge:

  Go to "www.thesuspensionking.com" - they sell wagon leaf springs, at what I consider an affordable price. Shipping is reasonable, too.

Thanks for the replies...
I have aready bought a new set of springs for mine, I was wanting to get the info for others wanting new spring but don`t have access to wagon springs..

Non-wagon spring are everywhere, there are also other springs I beleave will fit but without the spring specs they can`t be matched up..

Wedge,
When I bought mine I bought them from St.Louis springs, great people to deal with and good prices. While I was shopping around I remember running across spring specs on one of the supplier websites but I can't remember which one, sorry. If you have time you can probably nose around on some of the spring sites and see if you can find the specs. Wish I could be more help.
