Measuring leaf springs-Is this right?
I am about to order drop spindles and leaf springs for my truck, so I was trying to measure the length of the rear springs. In my glove compartment, on the sticker with the list of options, it says "G50 Heavy duty rear sp" or something like that. I have 4 leaves (leafs?) plus the overload.
I was expecting this to be 56" springs, but when I follow directions for measuring them that I was given on CT recently, they measure 52" eye to eye. I measured it in a straight line from eye to eye when the truck was sitting with the wheels on the ground.
Am I doing this right? I don't want to get the wrong springs.
