How come 745lb capacity leaf springs are cheaper than 655lb capacity leaf springs and how much of a difference is it between the two capacities. Thanks in advance

The difference is 90lbs. You're welcome.


If you're buying online, I'd guess they have a greater supply of the HD leafs.

Never heard of renting a Dremel before. Not sure how important precision (well balanced/straight shaft) is to you, don't imagine it's that important, but el cheapo knockoff one can be had for $20 ($15 on sale) up here in Canuckistan.

I went to Radio shack and got a 12 plug adapter, but they only had 1 set.. I need 2 more set for the driver side, it has 22 wires! Did you relocate your speakers?

Kinda. Door ones always were a pita so i just cut those. Then i have my sound bar moved just barely behind front seats, and 6x9's in the hatch.

And baller *** sound stream speakers.

Needless to say at full blast i cant hear much besides music. Even at 80mph, no doors. And the hum of bajaclaws.

Moving the sound bar makes a big difference

Thanks for being my calculator lol. No but seriously is the lighter spring more flexible I take it. I mean that 90lbs shouldn't make a difference I guess
