    Well, City Spring is no longer in the biz of making leaf springs. Anyone know where I can get a main leaf made for my '48 axle to mount the spring above. Running speedway perches, needs to be 35+ inches eye to eye. Someone said Posie made a spring for this application but couldn't find it listed anywhere. Anyone have someone they use?
    Thanks in advance,
    George

    American got me out of a big jam last year...I broke a main leaf on the front of my Pete on a FRIDAY afternoon....found one and they got me rolling by 5:00 PM....I was hauling repair parts for the Vero Beach, FL power plant after that first hurricane...thanks to them, Vero Beach got their power back two days earlier...
     
  8. Hey GV, Don't forget Tulsa Auto Spring is still here.

    Tulsa Auto Spring Co.
    6545 East 21st Place
    Tulsa, Oklahoma 74129
    (918) 835-6926

    I have used this place for all sorts of stuff in the past. They make all sorts of suspension related part to specs. We have had leafs made, custom U-bolts for lowering kits, custom wound coil springs.

    Give 'em a call, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out.

    Take care,
    Reverend Jake

    Hey Root,

    Twisted Okie took my spring by this week and they told him they no longer made springs only installed. If you find out different let me know, but looks like I have some other options. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
