I'm looking at new leaf springs as mine are rusted and some bushings are crooked.
I replaced the shocks earlier in the year so I'm now budgetting for these.
I'm on-road all the time so I'm not looking for anything fancy...but at $90 minimum each I want to make sure I'm not throwing money out the window - I want these to last!!

Where did you get yours and [if you don't mind me asking] what did you pay?

Guess who finally got his wheel done! My conversion is complete! Check out my first set of pics below. I just used the camera on my phone, but soon, I'll use my wife's nice D-SLR. Now, who do I talk to to get my Username turned orange?

Congrats on the color change! I'll hopefully be there within the next few weeks.

Do you by chance have a closeup of your whip tie down? I'm trying to look for ideas to do it without it grounding yet still being highly secure.

Wow. It doesn't seem like two years since the flame job.

What kind of gloss did you do for the base and red, and are you happy with the choice? I'm still leaning towards matte, but the paint guy is giving me options for matte, semi-gloss and gloss. He is leaning towards gloss for ease of painting and maintenance and i'm torn.

From my observations, adding the flattener is a 45 second step in the whole scheme of things. I'm liking my "matte" but it's only been 2-3 weeks and I haven't actually taken out and driven around in it..

Glad to hear you are still liking the matte.
