Leaf Springs: What I've Learned

Bottoms out? Shimmies? Shackles, springs, shocks, steering linkage etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Suspension' category are here.

I emailed Donovans today and received a prompt reply. I sent over some spring specs that I had found on this forum. He mentioned that this was not enough information and that he would need to have my old springs in as a template.

I am in MD. Any chance you could return your old springs to him so I could have a set made? This could result in being a consistent source for all of us.

I may be able to give you my old rear springs if you want to travel to Gettysburg PA.

And I thought I had the only Patrol in Maryland.
I'm in the process of replacing the springs with Alcans front and rear, stock height replacements. If you still need the original springs as a reference they will soon be available at the shop in Burtonsville.
