Re: Leaf-spring help
I am not Bill, but I did just what you are thinking about 5 years ago
and my old arched set haven't sagged a bit. I off road pretty hard too.
The shop put one new leaf in that was already temper arched right to
hold the bent arch in the rest.
If you are having a manufacturer do that, it is likely a proper temper
arch seeing as the machine is right there which is supposed to last a
long time too.
