Springs & Shock plates info

[plyduster360]

If you need or want/need leaf springs Espo Springs & Things is the place to go. Laura is awesome and their prices are amazing. If you want to do iso-delete and use B-Body shock plates. Order the Mopar Performance ones from Mancini Racing for $129. Way cheaper then FFI.

I second the Espo thing.

Plyduster; may I ask how much for the leaf springs at Espo?
I asked Laura for a price quote on their chat a few months ago. She asked what dimensions my shackles were. Since my car was in winter storage at the time i didn't get back to her, and later I totally forgot.

I am considering ordering a pair from truckspring for $153 a piece, but if Espo is better or matches the price I'll reconsider.
Going stock 4-leaf setup with poly insulators. These have the round front bushing:

Thank you.

That is for one set of leafs and no additional harware?
If so, is their quality better than the ones at trucksprings you think, hence the $65 price difference?

That's just one pair of 5 leaf leaf springs. When I called Trucksprings I was told the leaf springs weren't available from their supplier.

I second Espo N Springs.
1/27/24 I just ordered my springs.
Laura helped me figure it out via 101 emails.
1980 Aspen Sedan, I'm getting the F Body springs with B Body centering pins/bolts.
I am going the B Body shock plate route.
5 leaf replacements $360, 1" lift $370, 2" lift $380.
Shipping to Midwest $120.
I went with the 2" lift. I plan on running 14" steel rims all around so I can keep my OEM Chrysler Corp Hubcaps, but I'm gonna get wider rims and taller tires for the back. Tip it forward a bit, purely for aesthetics.
I paid $504.74 total.
3 month wait.
Laura held my hand the whole way and wished me a Merry Christmas and Happy New year.

This is the only place I found that would build with the pin I wanted and do the lift at a reasonable price.

If anybody knows what I should do about getting 2" longer shocks, I would appreciate any info.

Bought my last set of springs from them. Really pleased with what I got. I went 5 stackers with B body centering pin and not extra height.
