Springs......

[Bob Carriere]

I am currently taking my spring packs off the Cab 11 for cleanup and re-arcing (spl?).....

The spring shop wants to know how much to re-arc.....

....what do I tell him...?? he wants know how much higher the truck should be... the weight.... the color of my hair...sex of my dog .....etc... and when I say 1940 CMP I get a ....Duh!!!!

Needless to say the are now pretty flat....but none broken...

I was thinking of measuring the distance between the truck spring shackles when they are hanging at absolute vertical at erst and give him that dimension to set the spring pack to when at rest uninstalled.

Will that be acceptable???? or do we have specs somewhere else to work from.... I could not find this information in my manuals.

Thanks again for your input and advice.....
