Re: Leaf Springs

["Steve Mick" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I am ready for springs, I will have then made up in Omaha, Ne. I think 
the shop is run by a 3rd generation-- Last I knew, they make their own leaf 
springs from raw material.  I looked at one of their spec books and it list 
every application. I notice the cop springs have one more leaf on the right 
than the left. I am sure they could build SS springs if I wanted. I used to 
get myPeterbilt truck springs from them.......................MO

In today's market it is sometimes hard to tell where the steel is made. I 
did not see mention of steel origin on the ESPO website.

I spoke with a truck spring shop in the Houston area that has been in 
business since the 1930s. They rebuild/re-arch a lot of truck springs. The 
guy I gabbed with said they would re-arch / rebuild some 1963 springs for 
me -- but they would not give a warranty. He said the steel was too old to 
keep the arch in the long term and they did not want an unhappy customer.

Yes for improved handling on corners he should put on front and rear sway 
bars.

Thanks,
