Re: Rear Springs
They are a bit too stiff on 7 leafers unless you carry 4 people all the time.

Re: Rear Springs
Agreed the new 7 leaf will leave your car sitting very high.
Have you considered having the originals re tempered? So long as they are not too cut by rubbing into this shouldnt be a problem. Ive had a couple of sets done by a local springs works, they just asked me by how much I would like the car raised and set them up. Got them back looking like new.
