[QUOTE="86tuning, post: 473137, member: 23006"] Sounds like a fun project! If the old springs aren't rusty and come apart, I'd just separate them and pull out a leaf or two, depending on design. Old steel and new steel are still steel. Spring steel doesn't care if it's brand new or 30 years old. The length of the spring also affects the travel, and therefore the bumpiness of the setup. Longer leafs will move more than little short leafs. Again, post up a pic, otherwise we are all just guessing and shooting in the dark with suggestions. Also, we all love to see your stuff!
