Today
I put the new axle in the car. I installed new rear springs
that I
purchased from Eaton. The springs that were in the car were
3 leaf, while
the new ones are 4 leaf. When I lowered the car, it
sat way too high. I
modified the rear springs by removing the
smallest leaf (about 1/4 full
length). This leaf is held in place
only by the bolt that passes through
the middle of all the leafs.
Should I not do this? The other leafs are
held together by straps
that wrap around all the leafs, as well as what
appear to be pins
located near the ends. When I lowered the car, it seemed
to ride at
the correct
height.
Thanks,
Dan
Gee Dan, I'm trying to figure out a way to get mine higher. I'd love
to have a 4 leaf set.
