    Eaton Detroit Spring offers mid-eye and reverse-eye leaf springs. They're pricey though.

    it seems everyone needs the specs of the spring on "something" before they can make a spring...:slap:
    I don't want a spring like the one I have, i want a spring like the one I want...:yup:
    I tried giving them the specs on what I want and they want to know...what it fits...:bouncy:
    I told one Lady it was for an...air boat...her reply..."we don't make leaf springs for air boats...:slap:
