There is a service in Grand Rapids, MI that will re-arc, re-bush, etc. leaf springs. I understand they will make them almost like new. I'm sure it's a fraction of the cost of replacing them. My "F" is a bit low in the rear, and I plan on having them re-arced in the spring. I would think most decent-sized cities would also have this service available.
