Would love to hear some feedback. Maybe my setup had something to do with it?   D.

What brand spring did you have?   Keith Kreutzer (Revor) Member Username: Revor Post Number: 197 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 10:48 pm:    What else broke? I've broken leaves before and I've heard of coils breaking.. The more you flex and bend them....over and over... Even a spring will work harden and break.... Just like bending a coat hanger over and over....   Brian Friend (Brianfriend) Senior Member Username: Brianfriend Post Number: 879 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 10:50 pm:    RTE springs. The only other thing to break was the trailing arms..... Just kidding. BTW...I was VERY impressed with my new set up and will do a write up on it with pics asap.   Joshua (Joshua) Member Username: Joshua Post Number: 219 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 10:55 pm:    maybe you should call RTE...if they are not old, maybe there is some sort of warrany? I have no idea, just thought it was a possibility Joshua
