Mazda hybrid springs - the work is already done!
I have 5-leaf Mazda packs. Normally, the packs are 3-leaf. I used the three leafs and added 2 leafs cut down from another Mazda pack. These springs flex nicely. The ride is awesome. I will also include the left over leafs that I didn't cut. You will get about 3" of lift.
Here's how I set them up:
M1 = main leaf
M2 = 2nd leaf
M3 = third leaf
The 5 leafs are:
M1
M1 cut down
M2
M3
M3 cut down
You will need to weld a new spring mount 5" in front of the stock one.
IIRC travel was 18-20" I don't know what the vertical travel is.
$100 for both packs and the extra leafs (M2)
