46 pickemup in NJ "the Rebuild"

[Tx Firefighter]

My local spring shop works cheap. It seems to be a trend in that business. They charge me 6 bucks per bushing to replace, and that includes the price of the bushing.

125 to 150 gets me a full rebuild with de-arch (to lower) with all four new bushings. New center pin bolts, clamps and everything. They also make new u bolts for 7.50 each. Just take you old one in there for a pattern for them. If you have them de-arch yours to lower it and do away with the lowering blocks, they will need to make you new u-bolts that are shorter to do away with the lowering blocks added thickness.

Not quite following you on the de arching of my springs. I mean I understand the concept of taking the arch ou to not have to use lowering blocks but my springs when they were in the truck with a load on them looked pretty flat already. sorry for sounding stupid but thats what i do best.
