on the topic of resetting leaves, can you reset them to have 2" lift ??. This is for a zook sierra.

cheers

had em done both ways, the cold system seems to last slightly longer and is slightly cheaper...... Ideally I'd get new ones as they are retativly cheap these days ( have seen em for as little as $15 a pak !! )

They still sag after a few months of use either way, worst job I had done was on an ACCO 410 4wd truck front spring paks, original pak was flat and went inverted under load,...they were done cold, 2 new leafs added, and 2" increase in the curve..... lasted all of a week before they went back to the way they were before they were rerolled :x
Since fitted new ones for $25 a pak...gotta remember these were truck springs.

look in "JUST TRUCK' type mags....second bible to just 4x4's and Parts Peddler !!

Not in there all the time but on average 3 or 4 times a year, blink and its gone !!!
The set I got for the Acco was in either the Jan or Feb edition from memory.
