    I have a dropped I-beam front axle (unknown manufacturer), kingpin-to-kingpin measures 47.25-inches center-to-center (at the top of the axle), 48-inches (at the underside of the axle), it's spring perch bosses measure 38.5-inches center-to-center. I'm using split bones, in case that's important. According to most websites, I'm supposed to deduct 4.5-inches for the perches/shackles, for an overall spring length of 34-inches, eye-to-eye. Anyone know of a source for a leaf spring with this dimension? I've searched all the usual suspects and come up empty. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! :)

    do you have an outfit around that makes replacemant spring for comercial trucks, most of the time these out fits also make springs for p***enger vehicles, you just call them up with the info and they can have them bent up...here in oregon(on the other side of the continent) we have oregon spring..
