Hi all,

I have two sets of 1/2 WC front leaf springs which are fairly flat when loaded, but have some arch when unloaded. I was thinking about adding leaves from one pack into the other to hopefully bring some of the shape back. If I were to do this, which leaves would be the best to transplant - the short, middle or long ones? Or should I transplant based on amount of unloaded arch?

Also, I assume that I would trim the donated spring so that it doesn't overlap (or equal) the spring above it in the pack?

I couldn't find anything in the archives relative to this. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

don
