freshen up leaf springs on 72 te27?
the rear of my car is sagging on one side and i think it is do to the stock leaf springs. is rebuilding the leafs just a matter of replacing the bushings or can they actually be reworked into better condition?, just replace them?, add a leaf?. looking for thoughts and input

I'm in the same boat man I have dead springs one side starting to sag a little. Maybe if d out if there's another set of springs little bit stiffer and same size idk off of what though

NO, dont heat em up they get ruined that way,
you guys need to take em to someone who got a hydraulic tube bender (the one used in muffler shops) and arched em back to OEM specs, while cold,
If you heat em up they will loose the strength and wont hold the position, same happen with coil springs to lower a car, when it got heated they mess em up
