Professional installers can also provide valuable advice regarding other suspension components that may require attention during the upgrade.
Suspension Geometry & Alignment When upgrading leaf springs, it is crucial to evaluate the suspension geometry and alignment of your vehicle. Changes in leaf spring characteristics may affect the suspension alignment and handling dynamics.
Consider consulting with a suspension expert to ensure proper setup and alignment after the upgrade.
Comprehensive Suspension Evaluation Upgrading leaf springs presents an opportunity to assess the overall condition of your suspension system. Take the time to inspect other suspension components, such as shock absorbers, bushings, and shackles.
