Yes, I wasn't sure exactly how to measure. I thought that maybe someone
else on the DML had done this, so I thought that I'd check here first.

I did find a place in Rochester that has them already, so I'm picking them
up after work today.

I don't quite understand...why can't you just sit next to your own truck
with a tape measure and get the measurements yourself? Are you not sure what
points to measure from? You may want to look into overload leaves or airbags
rather than custom springs. A custom spring built to stand up to the load of
the 4 wheeler in back will ride like crap when you don't have anything back
there.

Does anyone happen to have the measurements for the leaf springs for a 99
Dakota CC? I frequently put my 4 wheeler in the rear, and boy, does she
sag! I'm looking for the length of the topmost spring, and the distance to
the center eye hole from each end.

Thanks in advance.

Jacques
