Leaf spring line question
Took the front springs out of my '53 AD truck. Took the leaves apart. Going to grind off the rust and paint them. Should I use the vinyl spring liner between every leaf or just the longer ones? -or- Skip the liner and put white lithium grease between the leaves after painting.

Re: Leaf spring line question
Sandblast them and paint them all together. No reason to take them apart...

Re: Leaf spring line question
take them apart, grind or blast them, paint & re assemble. that way you don't have grit between the leaves. I installed the Teflon liner many years ago & it still works well. it was worth it.

Update: I found teflon buttons at ATS Suspension products. They also had Kwik Clips for 1 3/4" springs. Update ll: After speaking with Nostalgia Sid who is making me an adjustable drag link I'm going with the liner between every leaf. Last edited by xaircav; 01-06-2018 at 01:11 PM. |

Re: Leaf spring line question
Liner is great. The longer the leaf, the more effective it is. Doesn't do much on the top leaves but what does it hurt to install it anyway?
