Just after a bit of advice on resetting leaf springs. Have a Ford Courier that is sagging a bit in the back end. It gets loaded up fairly regularly with towing (boats/floats/trailer) and also camping gear. How much lift can I expect from a spring reset and what sort of dollars would I be looking at? Have had some fairly wild variations in quotes so far. Also wouldn't mind lifting the front end a little as
well but should be able to do this with the torsion bars.

gday simon.
i get pedders to do all our leaf resets.
cost should be about $300-$350 with an extra leaf drive away no more to pay.
you should be able to get close enough to 2inch lift and 30mm lift in tortion barand wheel alignment.

Thanks for that. How long should I expect my car to be off the road for?

if im doing it for a customer i ask the customer if i can have the car all day.
pedders usually take about 3-4hrs.
and when i get it back usually takes me about an hour to wind it up and do wheel alignment.
shouldnt be off road more than a day.looking foward to september(landcruiser park/fraser island)
