    Doug, we have a couple of shops around here that can bend up what you need fairly reasonable, nothing of that sort in Newton? Or are they something odd, I haven't looked under mine for a while! I'll be in DesMoines saturday morning if you want me to check on them here.

    I asked certified powertrain in Des Moines, they don't do that. I'm not aware of anyone else local that would do them???

    The inners are normal, the outers have a slight outward tip in the apex of the "U" the postions it in the necked down area of the axle tube.

    Look at your and you will understand what I mean.

    If they can make em, I'll take a complete set for the rear axle. Let me know how much.

    Thanks,
    Doug

    That bend in the outer was the reason I asked about them...I'd love to be able to pull one of mine and get a price for ya, but I think it might take longer than you wanna wait...

    Probably so Jon, I don't HAVE to have them, just want to lose a spring or two out of the back to soften things up a bit. I have a message waiting for a reply at surplus city, Might be the easiest way to do it.

    Thanks Todd, A guy could probably take a normal set and bend them in a vise if needed.
