leaf spring chart

[spdcrazy]

might be a repost, but i found this the other day, and i think it could be important to some that are thinking of a leaf spring setup.

This will help me a lot. It's a little out of focus though ? I would love to copy this to print.

ya its not the easiest to read. maybe someone who is bored can copy it and make it a bit more readable.


i'm thinking of trying some dodge springs instead of the chevy 64's. dodge's are 60 and would fit a bit better on my b2

I have a set of Dodge front springs I got intending to try out on my trail rig build....

They're a rather flat spring, but made to flex negative. Problem is, they are a rather flat spring.

Not sure how the rear springs would work, they do have more arch to them than the fronts. But I haven't got my trailrig project started yet, lol.

ya maybe someone is bored enough to copy it a bit clearer.

i'm thinking of using the 60in dodge springs instead of chevy 64's. any thoughts?

since when are ranger leaves 4 thick , the ones on both my rangers ( factory ) were only 3 thick , and the one truck is a 4.0 4x4 Ex. Cab

sorry for my double post, internet is shitty here.

and i'm sure there is some flaws in the chart.

i'm mounting the new springs UNDER the frame on my b2, so a more flat spring might be more ideal. and the center pin is centered, that could help my axle placement, tho i need to take more measurements and i'm far from my truck

I've seen 4 thick factory springs before on a Ranger. 2nd gen 4.0L supercab though are the few that I've seen with 'em. Most got the 3 leafs.
