re-arc leaf springs
Any of you guys ever have leaf springs re-arced? Mine are totally sacked and I'd like to save a couple bucks, but not if they're going to be crappy. How much would I have to pay to get mine re-arced or to buy a pair that are already done?

re arching if done correctly works fine but new springs are only about a $100 for the pait rearching is gonna run you at least 60 for the pair... for that slight differnce I would rather just get new ones.

All the springs I could find online were around 160 for the pair, plus another 60 for shipping. Do you recommend looking for them locally, or can you recommend a website?

If you can't find them locally try www.espo.com he list the mustang stockers for 100 plus shipping. Last set I bought from him was like 65 shipping for 2 pair with all shackles (front and rear on a solid axle truck).

Who ever you get them from see if they can NOT supply the STOCK bushings. Great time to tighten up body roll in the rear of your car. Urathane bushings instead!

Thanks guys.
I ordered a bushing kit from summit a few days ago, so I'm all set for that.
