FAQs

There are a few options to safely increase capacity. Existing leaf springs suspensions can be replaced with stronger springs. ideally springs are replaced in pairs to prevent the vehicle from leaning. In most cases, replacing worn springs will return the vehicle to its original factory height and capacity. Another option is to add one or more "leaves" to the spring pack. This is often a viable option when the orginal springs are in good shape. This option allows us to produce custom suspensions to fix an existing lean on a vehicle or "dial-in" to a customer's specification. All spring work is done on site to complete the job quickly and with precision.

If your vehicle seems to "sag" when under a normal load or have uneven wear on your tires, first, check the air pressure in your tires. Second, if you have a leaf spring suspension, check the springs. Are one or more leaves cracked or broken? Is any other suspension component damaged? It is always a good idea to evaluate what you intend to use your vehicle for. Is it often used to tow a heavy trailer, or carry a load of wood, or maybe a sander or snowplow in the winter? Each of these put a different demand on your vehicle's suspension. Palmer Spring can help build and install a suspension system to meet your needs.
