On the subject of leaf springs
Sooner than later I'm going to have to buy a set for the 61. (Generally s***ty, with an aggressive lean)
What are the options these days? Emu's of course...any other "kits" out there that don't suck? and where to buy?
Before xmas I stopped into Hub City springs, thinking that they might be cheaper than an emu kit, especially if I was only doing the back end, but they were something like 1400 just for the rear...
A road trip to Utah would be the most fun way to do it but I doubt that'll happen....
I have been looking at rears for my 60. It's getting kinda loaded down, and the bastards that towed from Vancouver
bent my front leaf spring and I think have effected my rear on the one side.
Anyhow, I've looked at different brands, the OME are the nicest riding and essentially cost is equivalent to others.
I got a quote from 4Wheel Auto in Edmonton, that's it. They are expensive and shipping is a non-starter.
Recent enquiries about Alcan springs hasn't been good, and they tend to personalizing to your truck and being
in Colorado again, too much $$$$.
I think Trail Tamer are available from the guys in Washington but the rumor mill has a couple of people not too
happy with durability.
I got my last set of OME from North Shore Off road. I'll be calling them soon. Once I get some numbers I'll let you know.
Check out Cruiser Outfitters, Kurt has a good tech page and sells OME. I'd buy from him, but with shipping/exchange etc
better off to just buy from BC company and realize no hassle, for minimal cost.
