Hey guys i'm restoring a 55 effie and was looking for replacement leafs for the rear. My springs are sagging and starting to bow backwards so i'm replacing... i'm trying to stay stock no 4 link or any of that. Looking around the web i'm finding 2 diff spring sizes either a 24x24 or a 24x28. I'm just kind of wondering which one is actually correct... upon measuring mine they are 24x24. The ones i was looking to get are from lmc truck parts... but their catalog does not have any measurements... and i have tried to call customer service about other items and basically all they did for me was look in the same catalog that i was looking in... couldnt give e any definite info. So i guess my question is has anyone bought replacements from lmc? if so what size are they. If no one has but has a good line on where to get a new set of springs for a decent price i would appriciate that as well. Most of the websites i have found have the 24x28 ones.

thanks for any info you can give me

 

Hi there ..I'm not gonna be much help but I gotta ask 24 by 24 ??? spring what are you measuring ?? my springs are 2.5 wide by 30 something long and 6 leaves..but then I have a one ton truck.if you can't get the answer you need from LMC try one of the other companys..and I thought answering you would get you back up on top of the question pile so someone that know's more then me ..and that is lot's of the guy's here..will give yo a better answer..welcome to the clan..

 

see page 131 of the Mid Fifty Catalog (online). 24x24 is 53-54, 24x28 is 55-56.
rear springs are 2 inches wide.

Rear spring packs are $250 per side. stock or short & smooth..

Maybe want to take the springs to a "local" spring shop , if you'r lucky enough to have on in the area , and they can re-leaf ,re-bush, re-arch your's , maybe less money ?? ,, and no shipping charges , just a thought ,,,,, Jim P ..
