1986 W900 front springs

We would just add leaves depending on what was needed. The old spring shop we use always knows what we needed. We would take the old springs in and they well add leaves and clamp them in like factory new. They never look like add on’s. They would bend us new u-bolts for the new stack length.
The only trucks we had to go about different was our FL 60’s. Frieghtliner used a special exclusive tapered spring that Triangle and other aftermarkets don’t make. So what we did was buy a couple new ones from FL per vin and the shop cut the bushing ends off of them to add to the original stack. There again looks factory correct.

 

Adding a leaf to one side as a “helper” is also a trick on a truck that has a bad lean to one side due to too much weight. Like a service truck with heavier boxes or stuff on one side or a straight truck with one big fuel tank. Our spring shop has helped with that too.

 

I hear ya. This place has been around for over a century. You go in and the walls are covered with old framed photos of all the cool stuff they’ve done over the years. Over a 100 years worth. Still going.

 

Ace spring?

 

Yes sir

 

I’m going to have to take my 9900i there soon. Passenger side has a lean and bushings need replaced. I’m going to replace both leaf packs and be done with it.
