[Chrysler300] Re: riaising a brute

["Michael Reed" <mrreed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a service in Grand Rapids, MI that will re-arc, re-bush, 
etc. leaf springs. I understand they will make them almost like new. 
I'm sure it's a fraction of the cost of replacing them. My "F" is a 
bit low in the rear, and I plan on having them re-arced in the 
spring.
 
I would think most decent-sized cities would also have this service 
available.
