Who to reset leaf springs?

[mr_mike]

Can anyone recommend someone to reset a set of FG XR6 leaf springs? Any idea cost and turn around time? springs will be out of vehicle.

Also whats the general idea for working out how much springs should be reset? I only want the rear to come down around 60mm is that the only info I need to provide to the springs works or is there some sort of random other formula or measurement I need to know?

FGs use leaf springs? dafuq?

[mr_mike]

In the utes yes. Pretty sure even the BA/BF Wagons were leaf rear.

I had these guys do both my old GQ and the BT50, quick turn around

It was along time ago so don't know if it is still the same

And come to think of it they also did the springs in my MK1 Escort 18 or so years ago

Can you remember rough price? They are close to my work so that makes life easy

GQ and Bt50 was adding a leaf and reset and was a couple of hundred for the pair

MK1 was remove Spring and reset and I think it was less than $200 but again that was 18 years ago and the Patrol was in 2002, BT50 was 2009

Had some single leafs lowered for the escort years ago. I think it was around $100 a spring

Yep, all the Falcon wagons and utes had leaf spring back ends.

At the back of the car, where the leaf springs connect to the chassis, Ford have been using the same shackle bushes since the 1968 XT Falcon (part number XT5781A).

Fremantle Spring works have done mine. The old bloke only works a few days a week so call first.

$100 and you can have mine (front and rear) if you are keen? You've seen how mine sits.
