Starting a BB Duster project

Just depends what you're trying to accomplish. If you are interested in ride quality then you should invest in a split mono-leaf spring. Any spring pack has a lot of internal friction from the leaves sliding over each other. That friction is what creates the ride harshness since the leaves stick at first then slide. It is all very non-linear behavior which you feel as "harshness". Try some Calvert split mono-leafs on your car but leave the front pivot and link bar off. Just use the springs and then a snubber or whatever else you currently use to control the wrap. Buy a high quality shock and you'll have a nice system.

I got the calvert rattle on my drivers side , going to titen it just a hair . Also , I have a pair of 002-003 springs that had bent the pass. side right behind the front spring eye , (mexico made ) , I took it apart and cut a special reinforcement 2bd leaf for it , trying to not raise the car , but ran into the complete calvert set up cheaper than I could buy , so never really tried the s/ springs . taking them apart and reworking and putting them back together aint no big deal w/
c grip vise grips ,and a long tapered punch to keep the holes lined up .

Andy , have you had that kick *** duster on the strip yet ?
