Noob from Cali
« on: Aug 17, 2018, 05:42:21 PM »
Hello new forum member here. I own a 90 pickup and just bought an 85. Going to have some questions about the 85 I'm sure as she needs a little love. For starters the front leaf springs are worn to the point of bending the wrong way. Can these be re bent? Thanks everyone, I'm looking forward to being a part of this community.

 :welcome:  The front leaves on these solid axle trucks came from the factory with "reverse arch springs".  Add any aftermarket springs and they'll go the "correct" way.  Yours are most likely stock, Happy Modifying.   :biggthumpup:
