dividee Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 what do u mean by re-setting the rear? does it make it stiffer? what about lowering blocks? just abit curious never dealt with leaf springs before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgey Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) do it then :) to "reset" leafs you take each individual leaf out of your leaf pack and heat them all in a furnace then shape each one, then you group them back together and walla reset leaf ;) Edited December 25, 2008 by Sturgey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
