Believe me; I hear ya, Seanà

I know it wouldnÆt be the best solution to the problem, but even as a temporary measure, it would still be better than having the slightest little gust of wind knock me off course (or having a major gust beating on me like a grade school lunchroom bully! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> )

BTW, what are different between your springs from DOR and the springz upgrades? I had to use a couple of huge c-clamps to get my Springz upgrades to line up correctly..... but after doing so, they fit with no gaps.


The æprototypeÆ leaves that I got from Joe pre-date the Spring Upgrades that he sells now. --- They were something that he still had lying around that seemed to be perfect for my needs (I had a snapped Add-a-Leaf at the time), so he brought them to me a couple of Uwharries ago.

They consist of two leaves per side û a short one that is basically an Add-a-Leaf û and a much longer one that installs in the middle of the spring pack, two leaves from the top.

As I saidà My spring packs were already sagging before JoeÆs pieces were even installed, and because of this, they have never really fit together as they shouldà The two upper-most factory leaves are re-curved somewhat downward on the rear shackle ends; so as a result, there is a gap between them and the longer of the added leaves. --- It doesnÆt appear to be something that a C-clamp is likely to fix.

About the only true solution would be to replace my springs packs completelyà which I hope to do, ASAP û but I need some sort of stop-gap measure until I can afford to do so.

IÆm afraid that tightening-up those shackle bolts might be my only real choice right nowà at least for a while, anyway. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
