Radius VS. Flat End Slipper Leaf Springs

[ERock82]

Can anyone out there tell me the difference, as in why you would use one vs the other?

I had radius ends on there but found a great deal on flat ends at the local store. I'll have to order online if I get the radius ends.

I don't wanna chance getting something that won't be quite right after installing.

Thanks.

Any ideas??

Flat ends are cheaper to make. Since the "slipper" bearing surface is never at the end of the spring, that is, the flat end of the spring will be past the pad (if installed correctly) there should be no difference in running and wearing.

You'll to change your spring mounts at one end. Factor that into your calculations.
