Bis-man online. Guy had a add for suspension parts. When I read through the ad I noticed them in there. I guess he bought them and never even installed them. So his loss is my gain. Sure glad I noticed that!

So if you know anyone needing some springs, I'll have my old lift spring for sale soon.

I'll throw them in tomorrow. I sure hope I can tell the difference. I'll take it on justin's house again and flex it on the same hills I did last time. See if I can tell the difference

You will love them. They ride good and flex great. They are really super flex springs? A silver color? I've seen people try to sell other brands and call them super flexes.

Well I've seen no pics but he claims they are.

Here's the ad

2 full coil suspension set-up which include weld on axle wedges, radius arms, coil buckets, and many misc parts, also have a brand new set of 5 ½" Dever Super Flex coil springs, other off-road parts for sale as well. make offer

I know what you mean about watching bisman, you can find some steals on there. I go through it once every other day if not every day, just looking for a good deal in certain categories. Which I've found a ton so far, but you have to act fast.

Make sure they fit a ttb axle. From the sounds of it, they are for 79 and older.

Nope they are Different... The TTB springs are shapped like a two wheel drive coil spring.. The tops are the same, but the bottoms are different..
79 and older style

80 and up style


Kinda crappy pictures but u get the idea, the 80 up ones get smaller at the bottom, and the 79 olders are the same size all the way down.

Well from the pics it looks like the ttb tapers off to a smaller plate on the bottom. Is that right?

Correct. TTB coils get smaller on the bottom, and are held on by one bolt, and the older ones don't taper down, and are held on by two bolts.

can you think of a easy way to convert? I guess I've never seen anything but my ttb so its hard to compare. I wonder if I used 70's bottom brackets.
