id personally be very wary of attempting to fold a hardened steel spring as it is likely to fracture.. so my advice is

DONT !!! can you not just use some lowering blocks or something??

can you not just use some lowering blocks or something??

nope block on a transit set up would rasie the axle as it's sling under the springs

[gasretro]

A local company can roll the springs, anyone ever done this???

spoke to leda today they gave me the name of another place to try called jones springs in birmingham 01215687575 spoke to a chap called carl he confirned that they can decamber my single leaf springs by 3 to 4 inches if required, price for this is £35 per spring plus vat plus postage.(unless you live local to them of course)

i dragged this quote fom another thread on this forum the price is probably out of date but they can de-camber your transit springs,might be worth a phone call
