Time for re-arching to make a comeback!

I think for many folks, the Eaton Detroit springs will be perfectly fine. The issue is their 8 leaf front spring leaves are so much thicker that they are the same height as what Ford's 10 leaf spring was originally. For a non-authentic driver-level vehicle, that probably is no big deal but for someone who wants it to at least be aesthetically correct, then the 8 leaf definitely would not pass.

I still will re-arch but I am out of good #3 and #4 spring leaf cores to use, so I need to replace with new if possible.
