    Guys...quick question!
    One of our HAMB buddies has broken a rear main leaf from his F1.
    Fitz and I both have some front springs.
    Will the main leaf from the front fit the back???

    If it will we can give him a free one so he can save a few bucks as he starts to mock up his truck!

    thanks!

    If he just needs to mock it up, he could just weld his broken spring.

    Not for driving, just mock up.

    No, the F-1 front is shorter than the rear. Weld it for mock-up as suggested.

    hack,

    i think i've got an extra that's probably good enough to be useable to drive on.

    i've never shipped anything to canada.

    he can have this one (free) if:

    1. i can find it, &
    2. i can get a tutorial on how to ship it.

    if it's not too expensive i can pay for the shipping;
    if shipping is high, but reasonable, we can work something out;
    if shipping is more than the spring is worth then maybe this won't work out.

    i'm in columbia, missouri; approximately 2,050 miles from you "as the crow flies".

    b-t-w; i should have 3 of these. if he's gonna run it permanently i'll pick out the best one. if he's just gonna use it for mock-up but buy new springs i'll send the worst one. as far as sag they probably are all identical, but the eye(s) might be better or worse on any individual one.

    pm me if you want to pursue this one.

    That is incredibly generous of you Atch!

    I'll make sure he sees this post tomorrow.
    I was talking to him earlier but he's gone off to bed now for sure...(long work hours)

    Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate this. I went to a local spring shop with the old and and im getting both leaf packs made... the springs are to crusty looking and i am afraid of breaking the other off.
