[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 439091, member: 19498"] Because OEM ones typically are,flat that is. Picture a heavily arched leaf, measure from center of eye to center of eye. Say its 30 inches. Now flatten it out completely and measure it. It grew exponentially and was a buzzard to flatten. OEM springs are flat, the maker can then put the shackles where they need to be with out reversing or being to short, 90 of the pack when their leaf is full compressed to the stop of fully hung on droop. Thats my $.02 worth. [/QUOTE]
