coil springs

[R.Smith]

I'm getting ready to replace the coil springs on my 70 CS. I've never replaced a spring before so if anybody has some helpful hints before I start I'd appreciate it. Also, I'm planning on just using stock replacements, unless there's some benefit to getting a stiffer spring. My truck is a 2WD model that I drive daily.

Thanks

just make sure to get them on the right sides of the truck. they should be for left and right.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

that was done because of the offset of the engine to the passenger side to make room fo rthe steering box. i would think if that were the correct story. the aussie trucks would be offset on the drivers side instead of the passenger side like ours are.
