    How long do you think it will take for your springs to de-arch? I am thinking 15-20 years...:huh:

    New springs will "settle" a bit. Blocks won't affect that one way or another.

    Put 2 fat chicks in the rear seat...


    That wouldn't pass state safety inspection here in PA. Nothing is allowed below the rim.
