Best Place to Buy Leaf Springs?

[mike16]

I bought leaf springs for a 57 gmc 102.

thought I would support a local vendor

what a chump

I paid close to twice as much,

I thought he would build it right there in his shop, no way, he bought them from another vendor, guess who paid shipping to his shop rather than to my residence. And I drove up to Tucson over 100 miles each way 3 separate times....Chump

and stock ride hight? two inch drop is the new standard ride hight. Take it or leave it. Oh and since you worked on them and installed them... no return.

When I got them i took them apart and deburred them, polished the contact surfaces and greased up the leafs. Really rode smooth. prep them makes a difference.

pretty disappointed that I was taken advantage of when I went to support a local vendor.

He didn't even try hard to remove the other vendors part/contact number. who I called and found out just how highly marked up his price was.

the shop has been in bussiness since 1963. the owner retired and turned over day to day to his son in law... Doesn't know the difference between spring suspension and spring water

I would not re-arch old springs, they go bad rather quickly right after you do that.
