I installed some Year One heavy duty (440/hemi) leaf springs into my 70rtse when the car was restored. The car sits a tad low but I'm ok with the look and ride. Unfortunately however, the springs have flattened out a bit and force the rear shackle "past vertical". The shackle is angled back and is rubbing on the bumperette bracket causing noise. Any remedy with the bumper itself to provide clearance or do I need to cold arc these springs. Maybe add another leaf? Replace these Year One versions with better ones? Suggestions needed - Steve

Here in Oklahoma we have a place that re-arches leaf springs for $50 a pop. you might check in to something like that. it's cheaper than buying new ones again

They should not have settled like that. I would send them back. 'Springs'n'Things are the cheapest I have seen for suspension parts.

Dave, not interested in cheap. Want the best arcs available. Any suggestions?

ESPO is the company behind 'Springs 'n' Things. They are not only cheap they are good. The lady I spoke to on the phone a couple of years ago really knew her stuff and could not help me enough. The parts are probably the exact same parts as Year One or Just Suspensions or PST sells.
