JayG Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I'm looking for a pair of rear leaf springs for a 25 Dodge Brothers roadster. These are 6 leaves with a tenth of 55 inches. I think they are unique to the roadster and coupe. If you have the long leaf that attaches to the shackles and it's 55" I'd be willing to buy just those. My roadster sits too high with whatever springs are currently under it. The main leaf is shorter and it has 7 leaves. Thanks for any help.

JFranklin Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I see there is a business that makes springs. You could try a search on the computer. Just like I did. https://www.eatondetroitspring.com Edited March 15, 2021 by JFranklin (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayG Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 I've seen Eaton makes them but their website show 1910 then jumps to 1928 when you try to query what they make. If nothing shows up here I may pursue that further. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 They should be able to make them to your specs, maybe they are not an on the shelf item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayG Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 That's great info. Thanks!!!! What's interesting is the length is the same for all 24 - 27 body styles. The difference is the number of leaves and the Free Arch. That would imply that I could get mine arched to spec or am I over simplifying things?

JFranklin Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 A good machine shop can re-arch your springs. I have had it done on a '66 mustang with sagging leaf springs. I had them arched to give the car an extra inch in the rear. It was a great solid handling car after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hwellens Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I sent all the Dodge spring data I had to the Dodge Bros web site. http://www.dodgebrothersclub.org/ All the details are posted there with a lot of other Dodge information. This is a good club to join if you have a 1914 - 1938 Dodge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took awhile but they finally contacted me and said they had the bluprints for the springs and that they could make them for me. I have one installed, but still waiting for right side (left hand thread) shackle to put the other one on. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
