A local shop can bend new ones up while you wait, maybe look into some machine shops, suspension, or welding shops

Re: 1970 c20

Or you can just add a block on top of the springs to make up for the leafs you took out..if you put the block under the springs you won't have to add shackles.

Re: 1970 c20

What about the front do they have stiffer springs than a c10? Should I just cut them
