    Does anyone know a qualified and reliable spring shop in the Bay Area? I need spring eyes reversed and shortened.

    EDIT: It might have been these guys he was talking about:
    http://www.ussprings.com/
    They're in Emeryville.

    I have no experience with them, just a positive comment from a guy at work.

    Hey everyone,
    Been a while since I've popped in here.
    If you don't have any luck in the Bay area. Let me know. We (Mitchell Motor Works, Hot Rods and whatnot) can deal with reversing eyes, dearching or even a new main leaf for that matter. I work with a shop locally here for all my leaf springs. Just need to know what you want. You would need to UPS it (or Fedex, etc.) to me in Redding. The spring work is pretty reasonable $.

    Probably take less time to do the Spring than the Shipping will take.

    Hey Mitch! I'm VERY interested. I really want to deal with a shop that knows hot rods. My dad lives in Redding. I could just bring it up. What is the best way to communicate what I'd like done?

    My guess is that the main leaf needs to be at least 2" shorter but I'm not sure if that's enough. Plus I definitely want the eyes reversed.

    Sounds like you have a better lead now with Mitch, but I'm just confirming that my buddy liked US Spring in Emeryville.
