$70 bucks for 63\" Springs

I just called the junk yard and he said $70 bucks for a pair of 63" springs. These doesn't sound too bad of a deal to me. How does this compare to what you paid.

Also I assume when measuring, I need to go from eye to eye, straight across?

I think I read somewhere that the 2WD springs have 1 less leaf than the 4WD. Do you know how many leaves a 63" 4WD spring has?


Thanks

4wd has 4 leaves plus overload. 2wd has 3 leaves plus overload, and real 3/4 tons (2 and 4wd with 8 lug wheels) have 5 leaves + overload. I paid $150 for 4wd 1/2 tons.

I have heard that the correct way to measure is to run the tape measure along the top of the leaf (follow the arch) rather than from eye to eye.

correct, but 63s are so flat it doesn't matter a whole lot.

I haven't picked mine up yet, but I think I'm going to give $20 for them. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I could have paid a lot less, but the place I usually get stuff didn't have any rigs at the time. Oh well.

over twice what I pay but still not bad for your run of the mill bone yard. I get any spring I want for $15ea
