....'Now you can take out the 2 bolts holding each leaf spring'.... All was pretty simple right up to this point. We are all talking about 30-35 year old cars here, aren't we? Davis, not everybody has them thar' tourches and welders like you. GOOD LUCK,  'Themix2'

Actually if you can replace shocks replacing the leafsprings is just as easy. All you need is a jack, 4 jack stands and basic tools. Took me about 2 Hrs start to finish.

 Just jack up the rear of the car and put 2 stands uner the rear frame. Then remove the 4 Ubolts clamping the rear to the springs. Then jack up the rear off the springs and support it with the other 2 stands. Now you can take out the 2 bolts holding each leafspring inplace. Put new springs in and reverse order for reassembly.

IMHO It would be about the same cost as getting a new set of the proper  leafs from ESPO and a good set of shocks.

 just somthing else to think about. do it once and be done with it.

Same cost, but I ain't no mechanic (unfortunately) so I need the easy route. :-)
