Rear leaf spring code and # of leafs?
Hey folks,
Well looks like I'm gonna try and buy some factory take off springs form a local shop but I need some info. Hopefully you guys could help me out. Oh and BTW if any of you 01'-up guys want to sell your factory leafs please let me know!
I have an 02' Harley Davidson with the factory SVT rear leafs on it. These are ~1.0 in drop leafs and I want the factory 01'-up 2wd SCREW leafs which should give me back the 1" i'm looking for plus give me the factory ride.
I know some of you will tell me to just put an add a leaf on it and be done with it. Well I've ridden in a bunch of trucks with rear AAL and they all rode much stiffer than stock and that's what I don't want. [Gotta keep momma happy] I also want to keep my SVT springs intact just in case I have to get rid of the truck.
Here's what I'd like to ask of you guys.
Could you tell me what your factory leaf spring [or GVW] code is?
-It's located on the drivers side door jamb VIN TAGS or stickers
Also could you tell me how many leaves you have including the overload spring?
Thanks a bunch and I appreciate it.

Oooops! Sorry guys,
I actually need both the "GVWR" rating and the spring rating "SPR" which will be located on the lower right hand corner of your door jam tag.
example.
"SPR" = #### [Mine is 2F514]
Thanks again!

Yeah, I thought about that as well but I couldn't do that with my application.
Oh there was one thing I forgot to mention...
I've flipped the axle in the rear and I'm currently dropped right at 6.0" plus the 1.0" from the factory makes it 7.0" It still rides really really nice right now but it's just that it sits ~0.5" lower in the rear compared to the front [4" drop, control arm/spring]
What I'm hoping is that I could just replace the rear leaf spring pack with one from a normal SCREW and gain the additional 1" lift while not losing the cushy ride.
