fark me i inverted my springs in a ditch in the weekend

Ran the front of the spring into a rock or the bank, didn't you?  You can actually straighten that leaf back out.  I've bent the rear of the main leaf on mine before....and actually straightened it out with it still on the samurai....although it would be easier to do it with it off the samurai.

yeah i drove strait into a ditch, im going to pull them out as ive aquired another two sets of rears.. when they are gone i will have figured out the parts for a 3 link front

Then you can start breaking knuckles and bending axles instead of just springs.   

yer. its a never ending project anyways lol, i have a 40 series landcruiser im looking to start soon too and my daily is goin to get some bar work done as well. its good to be busy
