Espo is no longer selling leaf springs for A bodies

Hello all, I have to replace the leaf springs and I was wondering if I could get some recommendations. Info; 1974 Duster, 360, 4 speed, rear is sure grip. I plan on it being a cruiser (with an occasional burn out). Rear tires will be wider than stock. Extra ride height would be good. Thanks

That’s probably what I will do. Being on a budget I was hoping to save some money on springs but I’ll just have to save up and get them next year

I was thinking that but I don’t know much about suspension. I plan on getting pictures of the ride height and measurements tonight when I get home from work and post them

Suspension is the area that I have the least knowledge about. I definitely wouldn’t mind having a higher ride height. Thank you for sharing information about the extra ride height, I’ll definitely keep it in mind

I can get pictures and measurements tonight when I get home from work.

Hello. This spring I got my ‘74 Duster out of storage and started working on it again. After swapping out the rear end and replacing the gas tank I finally was able to get it off jack stands. It seems to be setting really low in the back now. I’m thinking the springs are bad but don’t know for...

In search of a good pair of leaf springs for my 1974 Duster. Used would be fine

Thank you! I will give it a try

Hello everyone. I have a couple of questions that I hope someone will have the answers to. I am doing a rear end swap in my Duster and the 8&3/4 shock/leaf spring plate has stripped threads (& bent) on the shock absorber mount. I bought the pair several years ago and never looked them over good...

I’ll definitely watch the videos several times!

Thanks very much for the reply! Greatly appreciated. I’m really looking forward to finally working on the Duster again. Been 15 years since I have turned a wrench on it
