SOLVED-ish : How much arc in OEM leaf springs while installed?
Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2024 9:02 am
Hi,
Replaced my leaf springs with a new pair of dorman springs, but now they’re laying completely flat. No upward flex. If anything, this spring is bent slightly down before it connects to the rear shackle.
I’m wanting to verify that these new springs are junk. Can you give me an idea of how much arc your OEM springs have just sitting in the truck? Possibly a picture? I just assume that the OEM springs would still flex upward a couple inches at least overall…
Thanks!
