    54 chevy scrapin frame on pavement

     



    heres the plan: remove helper springs from rear leaf spring pack, except for connecting spring, use bags to control height.

    heres the question: is it bad for the springs to bend the unintended way? ride height will put the springs flat but when it is deflated it WILL lay frame and dearch like a mofo.

    i DONT want opinions just WILL it break over not.
    thank you

    I wouldn't trust taking springs out of a spring pack that was designed to be a spring pack. I would go to a spring shop and have a spring made to get the ride height your after. Suspension is one area you DON'T want to cut corners.

    Just my opinoin
