    I've been reading up on reversing the eyes on a leaf spring.

    Seems dead simple if its done by hand or with a press.

    Even though there are several "Techs" on doing it to a front spring there is none on doing to a rear spring or more specifically a high arch Model 'A' rear spring.

    I would ***ume its the same process just alot more work because of the tighter bend or am I missing something and its a no no?

    It won't change much... If you look at the angle the spring mounts at and sits at when weighted..... you might gain about 1/2 an inch...Jason.

    I just had one done yesterday at a spring shop here in Seattle. Guy charged me $12, hard to beat that price and at that price hardly worth doing it myself.
