    What leafsprings can I used for better handling and better ride? I have a 1972 V-8 grabber.

    Thanks

    I just bought JC Witney 4 leaf springs for $125.00 worked for me. Even got free shipping. Got them in 7-8 days

    Me too. the 4 leaf is a little stiffer, but you shouldn't notice any extra ride height, maybe 1/4". Pleased with the product, performance, price, and shipping.

    J.C. Whitney. Handling will be better with the 4-leaf, but not the ride. It will be stiff as hell. If you want a more "comfortable" ride, go with 3-leaf...
