My son's 78 leans to the left. Any reccomendations for a shop in the dfw metroplex that can re-arch the rear leafs? Approximate cost? Thanks, David

I'd get ahold of Mac's Spring off I-35 south of downtown Ft. Worth. They do a lot of customer springs for racers in the area.

THERE ARE 2 CHAMPION SPRINGS IN FT WORTH. RAYS CHAMPION ON 35 AND FT WORTH CHAMPION, DOWNTOWN ON HENDERSON

Ft Worth champion downtown are great guys. They arched a pair of rear leafs for me, including all new bushings installed for 106 including tax.

They also build the longer u-bolts for 67-72 coil trucks when you use lowering blocks.

I've been using Fort Worth Champion spring for 10 years, very happy.

I'll refrain from commenting on Ray's Champion. Mamma always said, if you can't say something nice..........

Well it's good to know if they're bad. I just knew of them and had never had anything done there.
