1968 W200 Leaf Springs

Post by Brudog »

Hello All.

Are there any decent companies that make leaf springs for a 68 Dodge W200? I have the crew cab, and was going to replace the leaf springs. A local shop could so far only stated that they will most likely need to be custom made, which is gonna be expensive. So they advised me to check with the experts (y'all) to see what you have done when replacing them on your rigs.

Any help would be much appreciated! :salut

Try ESPO Springs and things. I paid about 300 for the last set.
