Mystery leaf springs... what are they?
I am now the proud owner of a FREE set of unknown/mystery leaf springs. They were still in the plastic wrap when I got them, but the paper/sticker tags on both the plastic and on one of the springs is so faded you can't make anything out.
The spring clamp has stamped into it, MAF0754 and S&G on the bottom of the springs, guessing manufacturer. But I have searched that part number and come up with nothing.
Measurements: 4 leaf pack, eye to eye centers straight across is 50"+/-, 54" eye to eye, if you run the tape along the bottom of the spring. The springs have a 7" arch, and if I stand on them and bounce up and down a couple of times to get them to settle then measure they sag about 1.5", with me being about 180lbs, which gives a spring rate around 120# +/-. From center of main eye to center pin is 21.5" and 31.25" to the rear (small) eye. They are 2.5" wide and a total thickness of 1.33".
Any ideas on what these might go to and weather they would be usable on my 98' UpCountry with sagging rear end? I am looking for a little bit of lift as well, 2-3". I would also consider, using these and my factory springs for a bastard pack. Thanks
