Leaf spring de-arching - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I want to hear from those who have had their leaf springs dearched. How much $$ ? Did you get the drop you want? Do you have to adjust something for the newly dropped (& lengthened) springs?
And, if you're in the DFW area, where did you go?

DFW area. Ft Worth Champion Spring on Henderson street. They've been doing mine for years. NOT RAY'S CHAMPION SPRING!

They'll get them to within a 1/4 inch of what you request everytime. Measure carefully before pulling your old ones off, because they sometimes sag differently. The spring guys can compensate to level them out again.

They usually charge me right at 100 bucks, but that includes all new bushings installed too.

Takes about 1 to 2 hours.

They've done countless sets for me. You won't be sorry you used them. Again, not RAY'S CHAMPION! They are also in Ft Worth and similar named.
