Correct Highboy springs: Input needed

Post by Manny »

I know this has been posted before. Did the search and found some good info. Just curious if what i found would be the right springs. Check the link please the very top spring 6 leaf model for $169.99

My 67' has got the 5 leafers right now sagged out. If what i know is correct those new six leafers should replace them spot for spot give the highboy ride height and be just like the 7700gvw springs???? :? Please any input would be awesome.

Thanks for you time and help guys :D :thup:

I recently had my front springs re arched and 1 leaf added to carry load of winch/bumper.A local spring shop did the job for about $150.00 now it is back to stock ride height. I am pleased with the results :2cents:

Cool that answers another question i was curious about re arching. That is a good price, and i know of a shop around here that can do it. My only concern is the leaves have begun to did into each other and remove material. I don't know if they can repair that... Thanks for the info though got me thinking about arching again :hmm:
