    Re: THOUGHTS ON REVERSE EYE SPRINGS

    It seems they only offer the reverse eye in 5 leaf.

    It may be worth giving them a call and asking about this.  My guess is they think the reduced ride height and suspension travel necessitates a full extra leaf to prevent bottoming out.

    Everyone is just out of them right now.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    I sent them an email asking if they had them in stock.  I need to buy leafs for my car.

    Re: THOUGHTS ON REVERSE EYE SPRINGS

    Billy, I just watched the Mustangs Plus video about their leaf springs.
    The springs appear to be built in the same manner as mine from early 90’s.
    They have the slider pads between the springs.
    Don’t think all leaf springs are made this way.
