Rear Leaf Spring mod with Durango Springs
The stud/ bolt "thingie" is called a "spring center bolt." You can buy them at "real" parts stores, or even in a city the likes of Spokane, which has a spring shop
Also, you can buy "spring clips" from such places
like these:
Just clamp the leaves, put them on and clamp them, and hammer/ bend the ears down over the sides of the other piece
On my car, I junked a couple of Duster/ Demons and ended up taking two spring packs apart, IE my original, and one from one of the junkers on each side, and put the longest leafs of both packs back in. I believe I ended up with one more leaf than stock, but they are longer leafs, and it really stiffened up the car. Sits just about where I want it now
