Yeah i watch him also,He is kinda funny sometimes.I do respect him trying to rebuild every thing he can vs replacing it.And a lot of stuff he needs to replace he has a hard time finding since no one makes it.

Didn't NAPCO conversions use the factory springs?

Not sure on spring rates but Napcos had more leaves than stock, 7 total in the front for sure.
